Discussion

A storm is moving out of the Deep South this morning and is headed towards the Northeast US. It’ll bring us periods of rain today as we start the new work week with the steadiest and heaviest rain likely to fall during the afternoon and early evening hours when there can be some ponding on roadways. At the same time, Arctic air will be plunging into the Upper Midwest from southern Canada and this air mass will follow the storm here on Tuesday riding in on stiff NW winds. Temperatures tomorrow will struggle to pass the freezing mark in the NYC metro region - way below normal for this time of year - and the wind chills will indeed make it a painful day for any outdoor activities. The very cold conditions will continue on Wednesday with high temperatures confined to the low-to-mid 30's and then we'll see a bit of a rebound on Thursday, but it'll still be well below normal for this time of year. Some noticeable moderation in temperatures will take place later this weekend and into the early part of Thanksgiving week, but it may be accompanied by more rainfall.
