The ongoing extreme cold over Iowa has much of the state shutdown for this Wednesday. The forecast of generational cold wind chills came to fruition. The featured map displays the lowest wind chill temperature for today based on hourly observations from the airport weather stations in the state. The lowest shown is -58 for Estherville, which is coldest value ever reported from the site with data back to 1987. At this point, it appears we will not break the all-time record coldest wind chill in Iowa of -64 set back on Christmas Eve 1983 at Waterloo.
