00:00The coldest weekend of the winter is on the way for some.
00:06That's a big statement given how cold it's been.
00:10But for some, this weekend cold will rival some of the weekends that we've already seen.
00:16We're going to be looking at a direct discharge of Arctic air from the Northwest Territories in Canada.
00:24That's going to come southward and move across the Great Lakes and into parts of the Midwest on Friday.
00:30Now, for the Midwest, this is a glancing blow.
00:33But notice the pinks and the purples.
00:35That's the cord of Arctic air.
00:37Where does that set up shop?
00:39Right across the Northeast, as we had in the Friday night and then Saturday into Sunday.
00:45Now, it's not only Arctic air, but it is going to be accompanied by what?
00:51Strong, gusty winds.
00:53In fact, those wind gusts will easily be over 30 miles per hour.
00:58You know what that means?
00:58That means there's going to be flight delays at many of the airports because of that wind.
01:04And with temperatures averaging 15 to 25 degrees below the historical average with that wind.
01:10Yeah.
01:11AccuWeather real field temperatures are going to be exceptionally low.
01:15Here are the lowest readings that we're going to see during the day on Saturday.
01:19This is bad enough, but take a look at Sunday morning.
01:24Those AccuWeather real field temperatures across the Northeast, anywhere from 10 below to 25 below.
01:33And to give you an idea of how cold and how dangerous that is, it's on the middle section here, the bitterly cold, where you can have frostbite to expose skin within eight minutes.
01:45It's a nasty weekend.
01:47Stay indoors if you can, but if you have to be outdoors, bundle up.
01:52Okay.
01:52Good.
01:52Business Hands.
01:53Up.
01:54Up.
01:54Up.
01:55Up.

01:57ungs-up.
