By Brittany Ward Verified| DC News Now Verified WASHINGTON (DC News Now) — As we head into the winter season, you will notice a few new cold alerts from the National Weather Service (NWS) as well as some alerts that are under different names. Here is the breakdown. Last season we saw an extreme cold watch and a wind chill watch. Those two alerts have now been consolidated to be just an extreme cold watch. The NWS will issue this watch when dangerously cold air temperatures or wind chill values are possible.
By Brittany Ward Verified| DC News Now Verified WASHINGTON (DC News Now) — Lately, we’ve been seen a rollercoaster of weather across the DMV.
