An Arctic cold front is set to bring severe cold weather to several regions, with Kansas City experiencing temperatures dropping to 19 degrees and wind chills as low as -15 degrees, potentially causing frostbite within 30 minutes of exposure. The cold front will also impact Nebraska, where temperatures will plummet from the 50s to the 20s over the weekend, with wind chills dropping to between 0° and 9°. Tucson is currently enjoying warmer temperatures but is bracing for another cold blast that could drop temperatures below average after Saturday.
