Vicious cold arrives Saturday and sticks around the city for the weekend. An extreme cold warning is in effect starting Saturday 10 a.m. and continues through Sunday afternoon. Sunday morning wake up temperatures will feel between -10 and -20 degrees. At these temperatures, frostbite and hypothermia can happen very quickly. Take care to limit outdoor time and to be extra bundled if you have to head out.

The extreme cold is due to colder temperatures and intense wind. Temperatures will be the warmest they will be for the weekend Saturday morning, and will rapidly drop throughout the day. Wind is going to be picking up and reach powerful and potentially damaging strength. Gusts will be between 35 to 50 mph, causing temperatures to feel sharply colder than what they actually are. There is a wind advisory in effect from Saturday 9 a.m. through midnight for strong to damaging gusts.

Heading through the overnight, expect light and broken snow showers. These can pick up during early parts of Saturday morning, and with wind could lead to some snow squalls quickly and briefly lower visibility from blowing snow. These will taper off throughout the morning and should finish off by the afternoon. There will not be major accumulations, but there could be between a trace and an inch of snow. The temperatures will be so cold that anything that does fall will quickly stick and become frozen and slippery.
