NYC Quiet Frigid Christmas Weekend
Good morning everyone and Merry Christmas to all who celebrate. Most of you might know by now, it’s frigid out and that transition was sudden with our major storm that blew through. Moderate to major flooding was reported along the south shores of Brooklyn, Queens, and Long Island, so just keep in mind that while you may not be struggling this holiday, others have been displaced or have cleaning up to do.
SATELLITE
Frigid conditions hold on tight for the next 48 hours, with highs today in the upper teens at best. We settle down a bit as far as lows, but we remain unseasonably very cold. Lows overnight will sink back into the low to mid teens.
Sunshine remains for Christmas Day tomorrow and we do improve a little bit, but we remain below freezing with highs in the mid to upper 20’s. Lows remain in the mid teens overnight.
WEATHER RADAR
On Monday, we improve a little bit, but some clouds may give us a veiled sunshine. Look for highs in the near 30/low 30 range. Overnight we dip below freezing again, although the teens are gone and replaced with low to mid 20’s.
Each day will be in improvement as we see mid 30’s for highs Tuesday, but the nights are still cold with low to mid 20’s. Near 40 temps will grace us on Wednesday, with mid 40’s Thursday, then 50-55 Friday. We remain dry throughout this entire week as our next system hangs back till around or just after New Year’s.
We’ll be watching that next system closely to see if mild air can hang on a little bit and create a short-lasting ridge. If it can, expect 55-60 degree temps for New Year’s Eve day, with the slight chance of some sprinkles late. If not, look for extra clouds, low 50’s, and a chance of showers.
