NEW YORK (PIX11) — Another cold spell is expected to hit New York City this weekend, prompting the National Weather Service to issue an Extreme Cold Watch.
The Extreme Cold Watch will be in effect from 6 p.m. on Saturday to 1 p.m. on Sunday.
There will be sub-zero wind chills that could reach as cold as negative 15 degrees, according to the NWS.
The dangerously cold wind chills could result in hypothermia, frostbite, or even death.
Temperatures will likely peak in the low to mid-20s in the city (colder in the suburbs) early on Saturday and fall throughout the day.
The bitter blast will continue through Sunday. Therefore, if you’re planning to attend Super Bowl festivities, bundle up. Morning lows will fall into the single digits, with some locations falling below zero north and west of the city. Highs are expected only to reach the teens across the area.
