An extreme cold warning will be in effect for Connecticut from Saturday 1 p.m. to Sunday 1 p.m. Wind chills will be -15 to as low as -30. At that rate, frostbite can happen in just 30 minutes.

A wind advisory will also be in effect Saturday 9 a.m. to midnight Sunday. Winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts 40 to 50 mph are expected which could cause power outages.

A quick moving Alberta clipper is on the way for Friday evening, followed by a sharp Arctic cold front early Saturday. Expect some light broken snow showers Friday evening, followed by some gusty squalls early Saturday. The showers will bring a quick coating up to 2 inches from north to south by Saturday morning. The snow will be light and fluffy and could be slippery, so use caution while outdoors.

The Arctic front will deliver the coldest air of the winter season and create wind chills as low as -20 to -30 Saturday night, with winds that can gust 40 to 50 mph. Power outages are possible, so plan ahead. Get supplies ready because temperatures will peak early Saturday in the lower 20s, then fall through the afternoon. Temperatures will be near 10 degrees, with wind chills already below zero by Saturday afternoon. You don't want to be out in this weather, unless absolutely necessary. Cover all exposed skin and dress in several layers to stay warm and safe.

The winds will gradually relax some by Sunday night. Sunday's high temperature will stay in the teens and if it stays below 18 degrees in Bridgeport, that could be a new temperature record.

Temperatures gradually recover next week. Highs will rise above freezing starting Wednesday. There is a chance of some snow and rain showers too.
