New York City emergency officials have issued a “Cold Weather Alert” amid a stretch of below-freezing wind chills that will only get colder into next week. The coldest air of the season so far will crash into the tri-state on starting early next week with “feels like” temperatures Tuesday dropping as low as -7 degrees.

The National Weather Service issued a cold weather advisory for parts of the state on both Tuesday and Wednesday morning. According to the advisory, wind chills could reach as low as negative 15 degrees in parts of the state.

Heads up! We’re tracking dangerously cold weather in Boston before our temperatures warm into the weekend. Tuesday is a First Alert due to the bitter cold. High temperatures will be in the low 20s, but a steady wind blowing over the lingering snow will make it feel colder,
