Dangerously cold temperatures will descend over the Kansas City area New Year’s Eve, prompting authorities to urge caution as people prepare for a night of celebration.

The National Weather Service’s Kansas City office is predicting that temperatures will be between 0 and -15 at midnight, with windchills of -15 to -30. As the weather service noted in a message posted on its social media accounts, the signs of intoxication and hypothermia can mirror one another, making it especially important for people to stay warm if they are out celebrating.

NYE still looks like it’ll be dangerously cold with temps between 0 -15 BELOW ZERO at midnight with wind chills between 15 -30 BELOW ZERO! Hypothermia and frostbite can happen in less than 30 mins and the symptoms can look just like someone who has celebrated too much. Be safe!! pic.twitter.com/teEziGJjJg
