National Weather Service Issues 'Extreme Cold' Warning for N.Y., N.J., Conn. Amid Arctic Blast
The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued an 'Extreme Cold' warning for parts of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut due to a mass of arctic air moving over the tri-state area. This weather event is expected to bring dangerously cold temperatures, with wind chills dropping 'well below zero.' The warning is in effect from early Saturday until Sunday afternoon, with the most severe conditions anticipated Saturday night into Sunday morning. Wind chills could reach as low as minus 20 to minus 25 degrees, posing risks of hypothermia, frostbite, or even death. The cold front is also expected to bring additional snowfall, adding to the accumulation from a recent major storm. New York City has activated a Code Blue warning, implementing emergency protocols to protect vulnerable populations, including increasing outreach efforts to bring homeless individuals into shelters.
