Need to get out of the cold? Warming centers, shelters open in region

A dangerously cold airmass will bring a prolonged arctic outbreak through the week.

High temperatures will only reach into the teens, with daily overnight lows near or below zero. Wind chill values between minus 15 and minus 25 degrees are expected tonight into early Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service in Wilmington.

The NWS recommends the following for extreme cold: a warm hat, gloves or mittens, three-plus layers for the upper body (one of which should be insulating), waterproof boots, one or two pairs of socks and a face mask or scarf to protect lungs from frigid air.
