The NWS reports that this "shot of arctic air ... will be the coldest of the season."

Temperatures will drop to the single digits and as low as -5 heading into Tuesday morning. The wind chill is expected to hit as low as 25 degrees below zero.

The wind chill advisory remains in effect until 1 p.m. Tuesday in several counties, including: Oakland, Wayne, Washtenaw, Macomb, Livingston and Genesee.
