NYC New Year’s Eve Weather – Dec 29, 2017

NYC, Snow, Weather Update, Weekend, , , , ,

A light snow tops off 2017. The new year comes with a continued stretch of arctic cold. Make sure to bundle up for your New Year’s Eve festivities as this may be one of the coldest nights we’ve seen. Cold extends well into next week where we could see a more substantial snow storm.

Rest of today – increasing clouds, cold, with high temperatures in the low-20s.

Saturday – a weak storm system moving from the Great Lakes and a secondary coastal low should bring a light snowfall of 1-2″ in the city. High temperatures in the mid-20s.

Sunday (New Year’s Eve) – Arctic high pressure returns with a vengeance. High temperatures around 20°F, with mostly sunny skies.

Monday (New Year’s Day) – bitterly cold temperatures overnight hovering in the low teens. Wind chill will make frostbite a real issue. High temperatures Monday struggle to break even 20°F.

NYC Weather Update – Jan 12, 2015

We start this week with a mixed bag of precipitation, currently rain, but eventually back to a wintry mix before ending. The rest of the week will be dry, with colder days on tap for the mid-week period before another warming trend to end things off.

Tuesday – once the storm system that’s responsible for today’s rain and mixed precipitation moves away, a cold front will usher in a strong area of high pressure that will dominate our weather for the mid-week period. This high pressure area will allow cold Canadian air to flow into the area from the north. High temperatures will struggle to reach the freezing mark, while a steady north wind will ensure wind chills in the teens.gfs_namer_033_1000_850_thick

Wednesday – will be similar to Tuesday in terms of sensible weather with highs in the low 30s, and partly sunny skies.

Thursday – another partly sunny day, but with slightly warmer temperatures in the mid-upper 30s, near normal.

Friday – should be essentially the same as Thursday with highs again in the mid-upper 30s. Doesn’t look like we’ll get any chance for precipitation throughout the end of the week and weekend.
