BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - The entire states of North Dakota and South Dakota are under wind chill warnings, as wind chills could get as low as minus-55 in some areas, including central and western North Dakota.
The National Weather Service warns that these brutally cold temperatures could cause frostbite in under 10 minutes, and could be deadly for those outside without shelter. The area where protesters have been camping out to demonstrate against the Dakota Access pipeline project is included in the wind chill warning area.
Lows Saturday night into early Sunday morning will drop to 25 below zero in the Bismarck area.
Wind chills in western South Dakota could get to minus-40, with the coldest weather expected Saturday night into Sunday morning.
But a warmup is in sight as early as Monday.
