WYSIWYG Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today continued to urge New Yorkers to use caution while outdoors this weekend as a polar vortex is forecast to continue funneling cold Arctic air into New York through Sunday morning. Temperatures are forecast to fall below zero in several upstate locations, with wind chills expected to plummet as low as 30 degrees below zero in the North Country, Mohawk Valley and Capital Region. Conditions are expected to last through Sunday morning, when residents in the Adirondacks will wake up to temperatures as low as -15 degrees. Temperatures like these increase the risk of frostbite and hypothermia, as well as potentially causing water main breaks and pipe bursts from exposure to prolonged cold. Additionally, forecasters are also tracking a potential storm system moving up the east coast that could bring several inches of snow to New York, if it does not shift out to sea.
