Bundle Up, Kings Park: Wind Chill Advisory, Scattered Power Outages Sunday

Bundle up, everyone.

Strong, frigid winds are set to blow through Long Island Sunday into Monday.

The National Weather Service is warning of “life threatening wind chills” overnight through Monday morning.

Nassau County and western Suffolk County will be under a wind chill advisory from 6 p.m. Sunday through 9 a.m. Monday, NWS said.

As temperatures dip overnight to single digits, winds could gust up to 45 mph, making extended exposure dangerous. Anyone who is outdoors for “more than a brief period” could suffer frostbite and even hypothermia, according to NWS.

The advisory goes for pets as well so keep walks short and make sure all animals are indoors.
