A warming trend is expected this week as the week progresses.
Temperatures will rise back above normal on Thursday, but this will come with showers ahead of an approaching cold front, according to the NWS.
The combination of very cold temperatures and a steady northwest wind will produce wind chills from -5 to -15 degrees through Monday morning, according to the NWS.
These temperatures could result in hypothermia or frostbite if precautions are not taken.
For those traveling or outside, it is still recommended to watch out for slippery conditions and cold temperatures.
The Ohio Emergency Management Agency and NWS activated the Ohio Alert Traveler System for the Dayton and Columbus areas due to the winter weather where select digital signs in the area will show information about the weather throughout the weekend.
