New Yorkers are in for below freezing temperatures this week as an Arctic air mass settles over the Mid-Atlantic, according to the National Weather Service.
Sunny skies may fool some commuters Tuesday morning, but temperatures are expected to reach just a high of 21 degrees. Wind chill values will make temperatures feel like between 0 and 10 degrees, while wind gusts between 10 to 25 mph will only make the bitter cold feel more intense.
Overnight, skies are looking mostly clear with temperatures at a low of 12 degrees. Wind chill values could make temperatures feel as low as 5 degrees.
Relative warmth coming to Hudson Valley later this week
Wednesday’s temperatures seem to warm up just a bit, with cloudy skies and high temperatures near 31. However, wind chill values between 10 and 20 could still make temperatures feel like single digits.
Overnight, skies remain cloudy with a low of 27 degrees, but with wind chill values between 20 and 25 degrees.
By Thursday, temperatures look to warm significantly with a high of 40 degrees and wind gusts between 10 and 20 mph. Overnight, skies will be partly cloudy with an average low of 21 degrees.
By Friday, temperatures are expected to dip once again, with partly sunny skies and a high of 21 degrees. However, temperatures will drop to 8 degrees overnight with partly cloudy skies.
