Cold wind chill values in the upper teens and 20s are expected due to the strong winds and cold temperatures late tonight and early Sunday.

Late this afternoon is the beginning of the weather advisory through early Sunday morning for the winds and marine hazards. Late tonight and early Sunday morning for the cold wind chills, and late Sunday night and early Monday morning for the light to moderate freeze across much of the area.
Sustained winds through early Sunday morning could blow around lighter, unsecured objects and produce strong cross winds on elevated roads and bridges.
