Chilly Today. Winter-like Blast Arrives Friday…

 

Synopsis:

High pressure will continue to dominate our region through today with fair conditions and below average temperatures. The average high is 57º.

It’ll  turn much colder Friday into Saturday as a significant cold front moves by. The map above depicts only teens for highs in the Northern Plains on Thursday behind the cold front. This cold blast will bring a chilling reminder that Winter is not far off. A hard freeze is expected throughout the tri-state area Friday night-readings will be in the 20s along the coast, the teens well inland. A Freeze Watch has been posted for the New York City Vicinity for Friday Evening through Saturday morning.

The weekend will feature plenty of sunshine with readings well below average on Saturday recovering to near 50º by Sunday.

Stay tuned.
