Some of the coldest air of the season is settling into eastern Iowa this week.

National Weather Service Meteorologist Rod Donavon says dangerous wind chills are likely for much of northern and central Iowa, which will be under an Extreme Cold Warning through Tuesday morning.

Temperatures are well below normal and he says we’re in for an exceptionally bitter cold week with the potential for new records.

Warmer temperatures are expected for the weekend, with highs in the 20s on Saturday and 30s on Sunday.
