TUESDAY: Gusts could be over 35 mph for the Tuesday morning commute. It will make it feel colder than the forecast low of 31 degrees, feeling more like 19 or 20 degrees.
ARCTIC FRONT: There will be an arctic front that fizzles as it approaches the borough mid-morning Tuesday. The wind will be felt but not necessarily the snow. Aside from some extra clouds and a stray flurry, expect a dry and windy Tuesday. It will be a tad colder too, with highs in the upper 30s.
ANOTHER SYSTEM: A second storm follows the arctic front Tuesday night and Wednesday, this time a clipper. It will do as the name suggests, clip the area with some more wind and clouds, but barely any precipitation. There could be a couple of inches of snow well to the north of the borough, but aside from a stray flurry or rain shower Wednesday afternoon, it will be mostly cloudy, windy and chilly.
ROLLER COASTER TEMPS: The coldest day this week will be Thursday with highs in the middle 30s and wake-up temperatures in the mid-20s. A quick bounce-back Friday with highs approaching 40 will mean the third storm this week will likely be mostly in the form of rain. Rain showers are likely on-and-off throughout Friday, making for a potentially slippery Friday evening commute. The storm may end as some mix or snow Friday night or early Saturday, but those details remain limited. Depending on Friday's storm track, that could unlock a significant warmup by the end of the weekend and early next week. If the weekend remains dry and the storm tracks farther to the north, 50 degrees is not out of the question by Monday. Check back for updates throughout the week on the potential for rain and warmer temperatures.
DRY JANUARY: If the city receives less than 0.13 inches of precipitation between now and the end of January, this will become the driest January ever recorded in New York City. Depending on Friday's storm, there is a solid chance that January will be at least in the top ten driest, with records dating back to the 1860s.
