NYC Cold January Start

Good morning everyone. We have a windy, mild, and showery day ahead of us before our front passes by and the bottom drops out temp-wise. This will be an important system as it sets the tone behind it with much colder air. Throughout the next several days, we’ll have reinforcing shots of cold air to keep things below average in the Great Lakes, Northeast, and New England. Plus, we have the slight chance of some snow overnight Wednesday as another reinforcing cold airmass brings flakes through the region.

SATELLITE

For today, look for milder and blustery conditions ahead of our strong cold front. Winds could gust to near 40 mph, especially along south facing shores of NYC and Long Island. We’ll also have some rain around that’ll essentially come in 2 waves. The first one is knocking on our door with showery conditions. The next one will be the front itself, where we could see some heavier downpours. Highs near 50 will drop into the 30’s by evening. Overnight, it’ll be cold and blustery as we drop into the mid to upper 20’s. WNW winds could gust to 35-40 mph overnight.

WEATHER RADAR

Tomorrow is another windy one with more gusts to near 40. With temperatures in the 30-35 range combined with the wind, wind chill factors may dip into the teens. Wednesday remains breezy with highs again in the 30-35 range, then a reinforcing shot of cold air could bring some light snow or flurries to NYC for New Year’s Eve. We’re not expecting anything major here, but if light snow/snow squalls don’t fizzle out before hitting the coast, we could see scattered locations get a whitening of the ground. It’ll also be a very cold one overnight with more wind and lows in the upper teens to low 20’s.

New Year’s Day looks very cold as well, with highs in the 25-30 range and lows in the mid to upper teens. Look for more of the same on Friday, plus a cold and dry weekend in the low 30’s.
