Oak Lawn and Evergreen Park kids will have an extra day of winter vacation as many districts and parochial schools postpone classes because of the dangerous sub zero weather forecasted for Monday.

The National Weather Service has issued a wind chill warning for Cook County in effect from 6 p.m. Sunday through noon Tuesday.

A blast of arctic air may deliver the coldest weather in 20 years to the Midwest in what the National Weather Service is calling an "dangerous arctic outbreak."
