Extreme and dangerous cold moves in this weekend, prompting an extreme cold watch for The Bronx. This is in effect from Saturday evening through Sunday afternoon for temperatures that will feel more than 10 degrees below zero. This can quickly prompt hypothermia and frostbite, so make sure you are taking precautions to stay safe and warm. Limit time outdoors. If you do need to go out, make sure you have many layers and are covering as much skin as possible. This is a serious and dangerous level of cold.
The bitter and brutal cold arrives behind a clipper system, which is a fast-moving winter storm system that originates in Alberta, Canada. It will bring a quick thumping of snow, leading to up to an inch of accumulation and could dramatically lower visibility within wind-driven snow squalls. The timing will be late Friday night into early Saturday for some brief snow showers. Behind it comes more wind and cold-- which combine to cause incredibly low wind chills
Gusts on Sunday will be between 30-40 mph, which will plunge the way temperatures to feel painfully cold. Sunday morning temperatures will feel more than 10 degrees below zero, with the "warmest" parts of the day feeling like the low single digits. Temperatures are already teeth-chatteringly cold, with highs expected in the high teens and lows in the single digits. Monday morning temperatures will feel close to zero.
