Arctic Wind Chill To Turn Brutal

The National Weather Service has posted a wind chill watch for brutally cold temperatures aggravated by winds gusting to 20 mph in Spokane on Friday and Friday night.

Forecasters said a low pressure area forming off the Oregon coast will create an air pressure difference that will trigger the winds and allow severely frigid arctic air to flow into the region from the north. The National Weather Service early today issued a wind chill watch for the Inland Northwest from Friday evening through Saturday morning.
