A powerful arctic blast will bring “dangerously cold wind chill temperatures” to the Northeast through Saturday evening along with blizzard conditions through northern Maine, forecasters have warned.
“Temperatures will be 10 to 30 degrees below average over parts of the Northeast into the coastal mid-Atlantic,” the National Weather Service said in a bulletin early Saturday.
Wind chill warnings and advisories are across New York State and New England, it said.
The weather service added that high winds could bring power outages and damage property over the northern Rocky Mountain front and the High Plains.
It comes after temperatures reached perilously low levels across the region Friday. At New Hampshire’s Mount Washington Observatory, where a wind chill of minus 101 degrees Fahrenheit was recorded.
