The weekend of Jan. 30 to Feb. 1 will be a bitter cold one in Binghamton.
National Weather Service Binghamton meteorologist Adam Gill said the area will experience “well below average temperatures” throughout the weekend, though no significant precipitation is in the forecast.
On Jan. 30, NWS Binghamton issued a cold weather advisory for Broome and surrounding counties, which remains in effect until 9 a.m. Feb. 1.
The advisory states the potential for wind chills as low as -15 to -25 degrees, which “could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 30 minutes,” and the possibility for hypothermia with “prolonged exposure.”
The actual air temperature will be below zero Jan. 30 and Jan. 31, the advisory states, which could lead to frozen or burst pipes.
