New York City residents are in for a cold and breezy weekend, with temperatures dipping below freezing at night and daytime highs struggling to climb. Here’s what you can expect over the next few days:
Saturday: A Bright but Cold Start
Saturday will start with plenty of sunshine, but it won’t do much to warm things up. Morning temperatures will hover around 23°F (-5°C), rising to a daytime high of 34°F (1°C). As the sun sets, temperatures will drop back to 28°F (-2°C), making for a brisk evening. If you’re heading outdoors, dress warmly—it’ll be a chilly one.
Sunday: Clouds Roll In with a Slight Warm-Up
Sunday will bring a mix of clouds and breezy conditions. The day will feel slightly warmer, with highs reaching 41°F (5°C). By evening, however, the temperature will dip again to 26°F (-4°C). While it won’t be freezing during the day, the breeze will make it feel colder than the thermometer suggests.
Monday: A Brighter Start to the Week
Monday offers a break from the clouds with partly sunny skies. Highs will reach 38°F (3°C) during the day, making it feel slightly more bearable. But don’t pack away those winter clothes just yet—nighttime temperatures will fall back to 33°F (1°C), reminding us that it’s still January.
