Synopsis:.
The coldest airmass of the season so far will be will be upon us tonight and Wednesday as Canadian high pressure works in. Record lows are possible tonight before midnight (first map above). Central Park should hit 26º or lower by midnight. This will either tie or break the record low for the day. Also, the forecast low is for 22º at Central Park Wednesday morning, the record is 24º set in 1986. This should be shattered. Gather up that firewood!
Despite the sunshine on Wednesday, readings will only be near freezing. The record low maximum temperature for Wednesday is 33º set in 1911. We have a chance of tying that record as well (lots of statistics, I know)!
The weather looks to cooperate through the end of the week as high pressure dominates the Mid-Atlantic. Readings will recover slowly to near 50º by Friday. At least the sun will be shining.
The weekend is looking decent, but chilly. Another shot of cold air will move in on Saturday as high pressure over Eastern Canada influences our weather. Sunday won’t be as harsh. Sunshine will continue to dominate our skies.
Stay Tuned.
