FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO) — Severe cold is gripping the area and will be a factor for at least the next two days.

21-Alive Meteorologist Liz Braden tells WOWO News that near zero temperatures will result in wind chills as low as 15-25 below zero.

The upshot is that little to no precipitation is expected – and we should begin to climb out of this by Wednesday with expected highs near 20 degrees.
