What exactly does this mean? This means that wind chills of -20° or colder are possible, according to Storm Center 7 Weather Specialist Nick Dunn. Actual air temperatures during this cold stretch will feature morning lows below zero and highs in the single digits.
If this is the first you’ve heard of an “Extreme Cold Watch” that’s because it’s new — sort of.
The NWS announced that starting in October it will change how some winter weather advisories are named to help better convey the dangers of sub-zero temperatures.
The following changes will be made to winter weather watches, warnings and advisories:
- Wind Chill Watches will be renamed to an Extreme Cold Watch
- Wind Chill Warnings will be renamed to an Extreme Cold Warning
- Wind Chill Advisory will be renamed a Cold Weather Advisory
- Hard Freeze Watches will be renamed to a Freeze Watch
- Hard Freeze Warnings will be consolidated to a Freeze Warning
More information about the advisories can be found here.
