CHICAGO (CBS)—The coldest air of this year so far settled in Monday night, and overnight lows will plummet into the negatives.

Chicago's actual low of -5 degrees is forecasted by Tuesday morning, with a few passing snow flurries. A northwesterly breeze at 10 to 15 miles per hour will send wind chill values down around 20 to 30 degrees below zero. This cold air has prompted another round of Cold Weather Advisories, which went into effect at 9 p.m. and expire at noon on Tuesday.

Tuesday will be cold for the entire day. Highs barely reach the single digits, but at least sunshine is in the forecast. The cold has prompted some Chicago area schools to close or switch to e-learning.
