Synopsis:
The coldest airmass of the season has moved in as strong high pressure makes its home for a day over the Northeast from Canada. Highs today will remain in the mid to upper 20s. The temperature dipped to 19º this morning at Central Park, making it a tie for the second coldest Thanksgiving on record! The second graphic above shows the stats on the top five coldest Thanksgivings on record. At least the sun will shine.
Tonight will be frigid with the high right over the region. Winds will go calm, skies will be clear. This is the making for coldest night of the season so far. Readings inland will plummet to the single digits, the teens along the coast. The record low for the date for Central Park is 14º. I think that record will stand for one more year.
Black Friday will be cold under sunny skies.
A low will trek out of the Southern states and toward the area later Saturday. Sun will give way to clouds. Rain is likely later Saturday afternoon and night. Sunday now l0oks to be dry under partly sunny skies as many travel home from their destination.
You know where to find a no hype, no nonsense forecast.
Stay tuned.
I would like to wish all of my followers a Happy Thanksgiving!
