NYC Faces Deep Freeze, Snow As Hazardous Weather Outlook Issued

NEW YORK CITY — A major winter storm isn't the only horrible weather awaiting New York City ahead of Martin Luther King Day.

The city will be under a hazardous weather outlook late Friday as wind chills dip far below 0, according to the National Weather Service.

"The combination of very cold air moving into the region and strong northerly winds will produce winds chills of zero to 10 below late tonight into Saturday morning," the outlook states.

The outlook also warns of coastal flooding as a storm system blows up from the south Sunday.

"The Monday daytime coastal flooding looks to be the worse of the two, being widespread with the possibility of moderate to major coastal flooding," the outlook states.

The storm carries a 90 percent chance of precipitation Sunday, according to the National Weather Service. At least 1 inch of snow will accumulate before it transitions to rain into Martin Luther King Day, the forecast states.
