The bitter and extreme cold continues this week for the region. Temperatures will remain well below normal through the weekend. Temperatures will not even be above freezing at least until mid-next week. Daytime temperatures may rise into the 20s, but wind chills will stay in the low teens.

Make sure to watch for hidden icy spots and to clear the snow from your driveways, cars and walkways. The snow is practically all ice and will be heavy this week. Shovel in intervals, and try to get assistance with the snow removal if you can.

Friday is set to be the coldest day of the week. The morning temperatures will be in the low single digits. Wind chill values are expected to be between -10 to -20 degrees below zero. This will be dangerously cold for the morning hours, with little improvement during the day.

What we know now is that guidance suggests the coastal storm system will be just east enough to be a near-miss for the region. The biggest impacts we could see as of now, would be high winds throughout the day, with minor snow possible for the coastal areas of Westchester County. Otherwise, it will be mainly a concern for our neighbors south and east, and closer to the shore. We will keep a close eye on this storm as we get closer to the weekend. Be sure to check back with us for updates.
