Record Cold Today, Despite the Sunshine…

 

Synopsis:.

The coldest airmass of the season so far will be will be upon us today as Canadian high pressure works in. A record low happened yesterday at midnight of 25º. Also, the forecast low is for 22º at Central Park this morning, the record is 24º set in 1986. This record has been broken as well.

Despite the sunshine today, readings will only be near freezing. The record low maximum temperature for today 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. A storm off the Southeast coast should stay far enough to the South and East to not affect our weather this weekend.

Stay Tuned.
