NYC New Year’s Weather – Dec 30, 2016

A quick update here to give you all the weather for the upcoming New Years’ Eve celebrations this weekend. It should be a good night for festivities on Saturday, with only a slight chance for any precipitation. More substantial rains come Monday, cleansing us of the past year!

Rest of today – some widely scattered light snow showers are possible. Should be a mostly sunny day otherwise. Temperatures will be dropping to around 30ºF in the city overnight.

Saturday (New Year’s Eve) – partly sunny through the day but then mostly cloudy in the overnight hours as a weak storm system approaches from the west. This may bring a glancing shot at some rain showers overnight. High temperatures in the low-40s. Overnight lows should be not too chilly, in the upper-30s.

Sunday – New Year’s Day should see clouds decreasing, but clouds will increase again overnight as a more vigorous storm system approaches. High temperatures warm up a bit before this frontal boundary passes late on Monday, should top out in the mid-40s.

Monday – chance of a rain/snow mix in the city early in the day as temperatures will be cold enough, but this should transition to all rain by the afternoon hours with high temperatures in the mid-40s again.

NYC New Years Weather Update – Dec 29, 2014

2015 is right around the corner, and I’m happy to report that weather conditions will be dry, though on the cold side for New Year’s Eve festivities and for New Year’s Day (we’re talking lows in the upper 20s in the city, daytime highs in the mid-30s). This cold but fair weather pattern holds through the week, with a slight warmup ahead of a storm system moving in Saturday & Sunday.

Tuesday – partly sunny day with highs in the upper 30s. However, north winds will yield wind chill values closer to 30.

Wednesday (New Year’s Eve) – with high pressure building to our west, and a low pressure system well to our north, things will stay dry and mostly sunny for your New Year’s Eve outings. The downside is that winds will remain moderate and push wind chill values into the 20s with daytime highs in the mid-30s. Overnight lows New Year’s Eve will be in the mid 20s, with wind chills in the teens.

Thursday – basically a repeat of Wednesday, with high temperatures hovering in the mid-30s and mostly sunny skies.

Friday – still cold, with highs in the upper 30s, though winds should abate slightly.

This weekend, we’ll see a storm system approach from the southwest and track to the Great Lakes region. The storm system should allow for some slightly warmer air to enter the region ahead of it, but we’re still only talking high temperatures only in the mid 40s. Best chance of rain will be Sunday.
