Dangerous cold lingers in NYC area with single-digit wind chills this week
NYC Weather Forecast
As the snow moves out of the NYC area, the bitter cold moves in. Below-freezing temperatures will feel like single digits as the wind chill lingers this week.
NEW YORK CITY - As the tri-state continues to deal with the aftermath of this weekend's major snowfall, the bigger concern now turns to the dangerous cold moving in behind the storm.
Single-digit wind chills
By the numbers:
With cold air and wind combining, a Cold Weather Advisory remains in effect for parts of the region. Wind chill values could drop 0–10 degrees below freezing, with pockets reaching as low as 15 below.
Monday morning temperatures hit 19 degrees in Central Park, 21 in Newark and 14 in Poughkeepsie, but a light wind was enough to make it feel closer to 9 degrees in Central Park, 14 in Belmar and 11 in East Hampton.
Afternoon highs are expected to reach the upper 20s to around 30 degrees, but temperatures are forecast to stay below freezing.
The cold intensifies tonight, with lows dropping into the single digits and low teens, and wind making it feel even colder. The chill continues for most of the week as temperatures trend in the upper teens to low 20s.
NJ Transit, PATH, MTA updates for Monday's icy commute
While the snow has stopped, roadways and walkways remain icy and slippery, with occasional flurries and spotty freezing drizzle reported.
Storm lingers
Local perspective:
Snow cleanup is underway as states of emergency remain in effect across parts of the region.
While the worst of the snow is moving out, lingering light snow could still create slick spots, especially on Long Island and sections of the Jersey Shore.
Most of the snow has cleared, but Nassau and Suffolk counties could see a few passing snow showers bring a light coating through the morning.
The Jersey Shore near Ocean and Monmouth counties could also see some flakes, but shouldn't see any accumulation.
How much snow fell on Sunday? Totals so far for NYC area
Snow is falling across the Tri-State area on Sunday, and observations from the NWS are showing totals so far across NYC, Long Island, NJ and Connecticut.
What to watch
What you can do:
Monday's bitter cold means any melting of snow and ice will be limited — and anything not cleared manually is unlikely to disappear on its own.
Patchy slick spots could also linger as some snow continues to fall in parts of the region.
