Even by February’s standards, it’s an exceptionally cold day in West Michigan. High winds and Arctic air are combining to create frigid "feels-like" temperatures. West-northwesterly winds are sustained at 15-25 mph, with gusts reaching up to 35 mph. These breezy conditions will persist throughout Monday before gradually weakening by early Tuesday morning. As a result, wind chill values will remain below zero through Tuesday morning.
