The National Weather Service has issued a wind chill advisory from Thursday night into Friday for manyparts of the region. The wind could combine with the cold to make it feel like 15 to 20 degrees below zero.
Wind chills early Thursday were expected to drop to minus 10 in New York City, minus 14 in Boonton, and a certifiably dangerous minus 25 in Liberty, CBS2’s Lonnie Quinn reported.
Friday will stay cold with a projected high of 19. But wind chills will make it feel like it’s below zero for most of the day, forecasters said.
Snow is possible for parts of the area on Saturday,Valentine’s Day. Although Saturday’s high is an estimated 33 degrees, strong gusty winds will return that night and drive wind chills back down to below zero Sunday and Monday.
