Extreme cold temperatures hitting the region are forcing schools to cancel classes for Friday with wind chills as low as -13 expected to hit the area and some snowfall expected this weekend. 

There is a Cold Weather Advisory in effect from the National Weather Service until midnight on Saturday.  A Winter Storm Warning will be in effect from 6pm on Friday to 6pm on Sunday.

On Thursday evening, the King City School District, the South Holt School District, and the West Nodaway School District all canceled classes due to the cold wind chills plaguing the area.
