Arctic Blast Grips Nearly 80M Residents Across U.S. East Coast
Extreme Cold Warnings blanket the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic as punishing winds combine with arctic air masses to push wind chill readings far into negative territory, media confirmed.
Dangerous wind chill levels struck early Saturday stretching from the Great Lakes southward to the Carolinas, with meteorologists projecting even harsher conditions throughout the weekend.
Coastal New England experienced the tail end of snow activity Saturday after an inverted trough system generated hyperlocalized intense snowfall, with certain bands dumping 2.5 inches hourly.
As thermometers plunge into single-digit readings throughout most Northeast zones and gale-force winds maintain intensity, subzero wind chill forecasts dominate the regional outlook.
Population centers including New York City, Boston, and Buffalo face anticipated wind chills plummeting into the minus 10-degree range—conditions severe enough to inflict frostbite on unprotected skin within just 30 minutes.
Upstate New York and northern New England could experience wind chills bottoming out between minus 20 to minus 30 degrees Celsius (-4 to -22 degrees Fahrenheit).
Relief appears on the horizon by Monday, when diminishing wind speeds and a warming pattern should begin spreading across the East through next week.
