NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – A cold spell continues to grip New York City and the surrounding region, with temperatures slowly climbing but remaining far below seasonal averages.
Monday will see a mix of sunshine and clouds, offering some relief from the biting cold earlier in the week, according to AccuWeather. While the afternoon stays dry, cloud cover will increase tonight, helping to moderate the overnight chill.
Temperatures will climb to a high of 28, still well below average for late December.
As temperatures hover in the mid-20s overnight, light snow is expected to move into the area by early Tuesday morning. Though accumulations are likely to remain minor, less than an inch in most places, the dusting could make for slippery travel during the morning commute.
The snow is forecast to taper off by midday, with conditions improving as clouds break to reveal some sun in the afternoon. Tuesday’s high will reach 38, which should help melt the morning’s snow.
Christmas Day is shaping up to be bright but cool, with a mix of sun and clouds and temperatures holding steady in the same range with a high of 38.
Thursday will bring more clouds than sun, with a slightly cooler high of 36. By Friday, the weather turns drier and sunnier, with highs edging into the lower 40s.
