CITYWIDE — NEW YORK CITY RESIDENTS are about to experience another weekend of bone-chilling cold, according to the National Weather Service, which has issued an Extreme Cold Watch starting at 6 p.m. Saturday and extending to 1 p.m. Sunday.
An Arctic air mass combined with strong northwest winds may produce dangerous wind chills as low as 15 degrees below zero from late Saturday afternoon into Sunday morning. Hypothermia, frostbite or death are possible, NWS warns.
NWS advises New York City residents to dress in layers including a hat, face mask and gloves when outside, and to keep pets indoors as much as possible. The cold wind chills could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 30 minutes.
