NYC Christmas Weather Update – Dec 24, 2018

NYC, Rain, Weather Update, , , , ,

We won’t have a white Christmas in NYC this year, but it will feel like winter. The weather this week is shaping up to be pretty average. Like last week, a notable warm up appears to be on the way for the end of the week, which will also be accompanied by rain.

Rest of today – light rain should be ending within the next hour or so in NYC. After that, expect mostly cloudy conditions this Christmas Eve with high temperatures in the mid-40s. Lows going into Christmas will be cold, around freezing.

Tuesday (Christmas Day) – decent day with increasing clouds as a cold front draws near but dissipates. High temperatures in the low-40s. Lows overnight will once again be around freezing.

Wednesday – high pressure will build in and provide for a mostly sunny day, with temperatures remaining in the low-40s. Cold overnight lows around 30°F.

Thursday – the high pressure center mentioned above continues to build, and is forecast to be quite strong at 1040 mb by Thursday. That’ll all but ensure sunny skies with high temperatures around 40°F.

Temperatures for this forecast period will remain consistently 5-8°F above normal for this time of year. That sadly means no white Christmas for us around here. On the other hand, with the exception of Saturday, we are expecting mostly sunny skies.

Rest of today – sunny, with a high in the upper-40s. Increasing cloudiness late with an approaching storm system.

Saturday – about the same temperature as today, but with widespread rain transitioning to scattered showers and mostly cloudy skies later in the day.

Sunday (Christmas Day) – a few degrees cooler in the wake of the frontal system passing Saturday. High temperatures expected to be in the mid-40s with mostly sunny skies.

Monday – slight chances for rain in the afternoon and overnight, otherwise mostly sunny with a high in the upper-40s.

Drought Update

Drought conditions persist throughout much of Eastern New York State, but slight improvements have occurred the last few weeks with an increase in precipitation. Monthly and seasonal outlooks from the Climate Prediction Center now call for persistence but improvement in the worst hit areas.
