The Cornelius Police Department is asking residents check on the elderly who may live alone. Tonight temperatures will drop into single digits with wind chills below zero. It will remain very cold until Saturday with highs around 20 or less and single digit lows.

A power outage or malfunctioning heat source can very quickly become an emergency, so please make sure to check on those who may be vulnerable to this cold.
If you need assistance with checking on a neighbor, please dial 911 or the Cornelius Communications Non-Emergency line at 704-892-7773
