Temperatures in the Mahoning Valley are predicted to drop over the next few days, with lows projected to be in the single digits or even sub-zero, according to the Storm Tracker 21 team. 

As a result, some organizations are opening up as warming centers for anyone in need of heat.

The Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County (PLYMC) announced in a news release on Monday that the vestibules of three PLYMC branches would open early on Tuesday.
