NYC Braces for Freeze as Temperatures Plummet; Snow Possible Monday
A freeze warning has been issued for the New York City area, beginning Monday. This alert signifies the arrival of the coldest weather of the season, accompanied by potential snow flurries. The warning covers New York City’s five boroughs, Long Island, and Westchester County, as well as parts of New Jersey and Connecticut.
Details of the Freeze Warning
The freeze warning will be in effect from Monday evening until Tuesday morning. This period has been designated as a First Alert Weather Day due to the expected significant temperature drop.
Impact of Cold Front
Temperatures will remain in the 50s throughout the morning. However, a strong cold front will begin to change that after lunchtime, leading to a rapid decline in temperatures. Winds will intensify, causing the chill to feel much colder than the actual temperature.
Expected Temperatures
- Monday Morning: Temperatures in the 50s
- Monday Afternoon: Expected drop into the 40s
- Monday Night: Lows reaching the 20s
- Tuesday High: Only in the low 40s
Wind gusts could reach between 30 to 40 mph, which will contribute to the perception of colder temperatures. Snow showers are possible, especially in areas north and west of New York City.
Upcoming Weather Outlook
Temperatures are forecasted to improve by Wednesday, returning to the low 50s. Although a few flurries may occur early in the week, most of the following days are expected to remain dry.
This brief surge of cold air serves as a reminder that winter is quickly approaching in New York City and surrounding regions.
