An Extreme Cold Warning will go into effect starting at 7:00 PM Saturday. Windchills could be close to 0 degrees in some areas of the County. Coastal winds will also increase, with gusts of 25-40 mph possible Saturday night into Sunday. There is potential for black ice to occur starting Sunday night.
