The National Weather Service in Little Rock considers values below 0 degrees Fahrenheit (for a period of several hours and a wind speed at least 10 mph) to be excessively cold, and will usually issue a Cold Weather Advisory. Under these conditions, people are advised to protect themselves from the cold, and cover exposed skin with several layers of clothing.

When wind chill index values reach -15 degrees (for one hour and a wind speed of at least 10 mph), a Extreme Cold Warning may be posted.
