NYC could see snowiest storm of season as the Midwest braces for -60 wind chills

New York City could soon face the “snowiest” storm of the season after enduring flurries of powder over the past week — while a polar vortex could blow in subzero temperatures with wind chills as steep as -60 degrees across parts of the United States.On Sunday, the Big Apple is expected to see highs in the 50s with heavy rain later in the evening, followed by temperatures of lows in the 20s and highs in the 30s through Wednesday, Fox Weather meteorologist Cody Braud told The Post. But a subsequent storm expected to move up the East Coast on late Wednesday and Thursday could end up dumping six or more inches of snow on the Big Apple, he said.“It would be our snowiest storm of the season so far, by a long shot,” Braud told The Post.

“The probability of maybe getting a six inch or more snowstorm is probably above 50% as we speak right now.”Father to the west, meanwhile, the Upper Midwestern states, particularly the Dakotas and Minnesota are slated to face dangerously cold temperatures from Sunday through Tuesday from a polar vortex, Braud said. “That is where you’ll see sub zero temperatures, and then when you factor in the wind, you’ll be feeling as low as negative 40 to negative 60,” Braud told The Post. The National Weather Service warned the subzero temperatures could be dangerous to those who are underdressed or unprepared. “The dangerously cold wind chills as low as 55 below zero could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 5 minutes,” the weather service said.“The risk for hypothermia is increased in these conditions.”The frigid temperatures will extend farther into the south later in the week on Thursday and Friday, with Central Texas facing low temperatures in the “single digits,” while parts of Kansas and Missouri will be subzero, Braud said. Memphis, Georgia and Alabama also are expected to endure temperatures in the teens, he added. “For that region, that is considered an extremely hard freeze, very damag...
