Cold Blast Today. Decent Weekend…

 

Synopsis:.

Today will be the coldest day of the season for far with readings hard pressed to get to 40º.  A cold pool of air will work in from Canada. The wind will add a bite, gusting up to 40mph. Wind chills will be near freezing much of the day, under mostly sunny skies.

A Freeze Warning is up for all of NYC tonight. This region has not experienced readings below 32º yet this season. A hard freeze is expected throughout the tri-state area.

The weekend looks bright as high pressure works in. Saturday will be cold with nearly calm winds. On the backside of high winds will turn Southwest on Sunday. This will cause the mercury to pop at least ten degrees compared to Saturday’s readings. Sunday will be the more comfortable day of the weekend.

Veterans Day will be tranquil as high pressure remains offshore. Readings will be close to seasonal averages (the mid & upper 50s) under a mix of sun and clouds.

A significant cold front will approach the region on Tuesday. Showers are expected. The potential is there for snow showers inland depending on how everything falls into place. At this point this doesn’t look like a concern with the white stuff. One thing is for sure, very cold air will follow this system.

Stay Tuned.
