blackjack123 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 What is the coldest wind chill ever recorded in the state of Kansas and Nebraska using the new WC formula? For instance, I believe Oklahoma's is -47F which occured on February 10, 2011. I have found records on other states but not Kansas nor Nebraska.

Yeah, I know, but it is really cold here in Kansas for this time of year. I have been looking for this answer for at least a few months. With that said I hope it will warm up eventually.

beavis1729 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I think you're correct about the Oklahoma WC record of -47 (new scale). I remember that arctic outbreak; it was shortly after the GHD blizzard in the Midwest & Southern plains. What town was that, and what was the temp/wind speed? For Kansas, the coldest WC I've found is -41 in Topeka at 8:00 AM on 12/22/1989 (temp -22 with an 8 mph wind). However, I'm sure there has been a lower WC at some point in the state...as KS is north of OK so you'd expect the record to be somewhat close to OK's -47. In fact, the coldest WC may have occurred during the grand-daddy of all arctic outbreaks around February 10, 1899. Difficult to find details about this, since it was over 100 years ago. For Nebraska...the coldest temp was -47 (!!), in Camp Clarke in February 1899. Coldest WC I've found is -53 at 9:00 AM on 12/22/1989 in Valentine (temp -33 with a 7 mph wind).

Knightking2018 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Oketo, Kansas December 24, 1983. Temp -19F winds 32 mph wind chill -52F. https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/ks/marysville/KKSMARYS3/date/1983-12-24. Wunderground came out with some new data. Marysville also had the same temp and wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
