NYC VERY COLD QUIET WORKWEEK ENDING
Good morning everyone. We had our “touch” of snow last night, with man spots seeing a dusting to 1/2″ of snow. Now that all the excitement is over, we go quiet and watch for our arctic blast on Friday into Saturday. As stated for the past few days, it’ll be short-lived, and we have no major systems on the immediate horizon.
SATELLITE
Early clouds will give way to sunshine today. It’ll be seasonably cold with highs in the mid to upper 30’s. Overnight we dip into the 20’s, then bounce back tomorrow with more sunshine and highs near 40.
WEATHER RADAR
Friday is our big day with that arctic push. Generally when we see these types of blasts, there is a line of snow squalls associated with it. However, it doesn’t look like the line makes it into NW NJ or SE NY. We’ll watch it closely, but it looks like it’ll fade as it exists the Finger Lakes region and Central/Upper NYS.
For the moment, we’ll call for sunshine with the slight chance of a flurry as our front passes. Highs in the upper 20’s will happen early, then we’ll drop through the teens before sunset. It’ll be blustery and bitter, with lows overnight dipping into the mid single digits. We talked about what we needed to get lower, but with winds still roaring, that’ll suppress the radiational cooling a bit. Elsewhere, we could see near 0 temps, especially in the Pine Barrens of Long Island and N&W of NYC.
Saturday remains very cold with useless sunshine and highs in the 20-25 range, then upper teens to near 20 overnight. Things go milder for Sunday, but clouds roll in. Look for highs in the 40-45 range and a quiet day overall.
