Temperatures are expected to drop sharply this weekend into next week, with some locations potentially falling below zero degrees Fahrenheit by Tuesday morning, according to weather officials.
While snow, sleet, and ice often dominate winter weather headlines, officials urge residents not to overlook the dangers of extreme cold. Prolonged exposure to bitter temperatures can pose health risks, especially to vulnerable populations.
Residents are advised to take precautions, including dressing warmly and limiting time outdoors during the cold snap. Authorities also recommend checking on neighbors and ensuring heating systems are functioning properly.
Forecasters emphasize that the cold weather could catch some off guard, so adequate preparation is crucial to stay safe during the upcoming cold spell.
