DAYTON, Ohio — Starting Sunday and through next week, a blast of frigid temperatures is expected to hit the Buckeye State. 

The National Weather Service said the pattern will bring in strong winds, which could push temperatures to below zero. 

“Everyone should continue to monitor their local weather forecasts and be prepared to protect your health and safety,” stated Kim Caudill, emergency preparedness coordinator for Greene County Public Health. “Extreme cold can pose a significant danger to people, pets, and those exposed to the elements.
