With the potential for extremely cold weather next week, the City of Charlottesville is reminding residents that warming centers are available during the day at local recreation centers and libraries.

Temperatures are predicted to drop as low as 17 degrees in Charlottesville with a RealFeel temperature of 10 degrees.
