NYC Frigid Air Remains Long Range Feature
Good morning everyone! Fairly quiet conditions remain in our area towards New Year’s Day, but cold air is spooling up and ready to make a brief invasion, then a bigger push in the 2nd week of January. For those who hate winter, my advice is to enjoy the 40’s and near 50 temps while they last.
SATELLITE
Today is the nicest day of the 6 day stretch as far as sunshine and temps, but it’ll be breezy. Look for mostly sunny skies, 45-50 degree temps, and a steady NW breeze 10-15mph.
Tomorrow will be the theme of the week basically, with clouds rolling in and the slight chance of showers. It’ll be chilly with highs near 40, but milder air moves in.
WEATHER RADAR
Tuesday will be another one with AM sun and PM increasing clouds. Our next system has a little bit more rain to it, but it’s still weak in the big scheme of things. We’ll have highs 45-50 and rain moving in overnight.
Showers continue Wednesday into early afternoon, highs in the mid to upper 40’s. Once again, Thursday starts out with some AM showers possible, then maybe some blue patches late.
Sunshine and mid 40’s return for Friday, and New Years Eve isn’t looking very cold relatively speaking. Lows overnight will be in the low 30’s.
In the long range, I see a two-part shot of very cold air. The first one comes some time between next Sunday and Tuesday with the help of a fairly vigorous system. We won’t get into precip amounts or types yet because it’s too early, but we can focus on what’s behind it – very cold air.
If this first shot materializes, next Tuesday (after New Years) may not get out of the 20’s, with teens or single digits overnight. However, there are questions as to how long this airmass can hold on. To me, it looks a little bit “shallow”, and may modify in the NYC area over the course of a few days due to another system approaching.
This one might be the big tamale as far as opening up the floodgates for an even colder shot of air, and more intrusive into the Nation as a whole. That being said, I question how much staying power it has even though the airmass looks much colder than the first.
We will continue to keep an eye on it, but my initial thoughts last week seem on target as far as some opportunities for very cold air.
