New Jersey residents can expect frigid temperatures to persist through Sunday morning before a gradual warmup begins Monday afternoon. The National Weather Service has issued an extreme cold warning that remains in effect until 1 p.m. Sunday, with temperatures hovering in the single digits and wind chills making conditions feel well below zero.

Wind gusts reaching up to 52 mph at Teterboro Airport created hazardous conditions Saturday, prompting officials to warn of potential power outages and urge residents to stay indoors. A cold weather advisory will remain in effect from 1 p.m. Sunday through 10 a.m. Monday, with wind chills potentially dropping to 25 degrees below zero in some areas.

Meteorologists predict temperatures will climb into the low 30s by Monday, offering relief from the arctic blast that has gripped the region. While still below normal for mid-February, the warmer temperatures will feel significantly milder compared to the subzero wind chills experienced over the weekend. Bergen County has extended its "Code Blue" activation through Monday night to provide warming centers for vulnerable populations.

Despite the upcoming warmup, residents should remain cautious as frostbite can occur in as little as 15 minutes on exposed skin. The cold snap has also raised concerns about frozen pipes, particularly in homes with poor insulation along exterior walls.
