Below normal temperatures and brisk winds are the perfect combination of a true autumn afternoon in the Big Apple.

Variable sky conditions can be found across the New York City metropolitan area with temperatures ranging from only the upper 40s to mid 50s for most locations. Winds are breezy, but only a few are above 20 MPH.

It is expected to remain cooler than average for the remainder of this week, but may briefly get into the 60s before Friday.

In the aftermath of yesterday's highly unusually cold late October storm that formed off the Atlantic coast, moved northward across Long Island and into central New England that brought plenty of rain to the coastal areas and some snow inland, it is much quieter today as the lunch hour is upon us. Variable sky conditions can be found across the New York City metropolitan area from partly cloudy skies in parts of northern New Jersey to a few rain showers on western Long Island.

Temperatures are still well below normal as readings are right now only in the 40s regionwide with just a few spots still in the 30s. There are also a few locations where it is breezy, but certainly not what we saw yesterday with gusts over 40 MPH. High temperatures will moderate as we head toward the weekend as it is expected to rebound to around 60° over the next couple of days.

Graphics pages will be posted as soon as possible.

The first significant snowfall of the season is now here despite the fact that the official start of the winter is not until Sunday. Snowflakes began to fall within the last 60 to 75 minutes with rates of at least an inch per hour. Visibilities are quite low as some reporting sites are showing just ½ mile or less.

Temperatures are hovering around the freezing mark in New York City itself and the immediately surrounding the city, but just to the south and west, mix precipitation is falling where it is above that 32° transition temperature. The southern half of New Jersey and toward Philadelphia is expected to be a rain event.

Roughly 3 to 6 inches is expected around the city with higher amounts in the northern and western suburbs. Conditions aren't going to improve much over the duration of this weekend as the second part of a winter storm is expected to roll through later tomorrow into Sunday.

A Winter Weather Advisory is now in effect for New York City, the urban areas of New Jersey and Long Island while the rest of the metropolitan area is under a Winter Storm Warning through midnight tonight. See the National Weather Service statement below for more details.

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENTS by the National Weather Service in Upton, New York on December 19, 2008
A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY is in effect until 12:00 AM Eastern Standard Time on Saturday.

A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect from 8:00 AM this morning to midnight Eastern Standard Time tonight.

Snow is expected to overspread the region this morning and could become heavy at times in the afternoon. The snow is expected to mix with sleet and rain in the afternoon, especially along the south shore of Long Island.

Snowfall accumulations of 3 to 5 inches of snow and sleet is expected with lesser amounts along the south shore of Long Island. In addition, somewhat higher amounts are possible across northeast Suffolk as the cold air remains in place for a longer period of time.

Winter Weather Advisory means that periods of snow, sleet, or freezing rain will cause travel difficulties. Be prepared for slippery roads and limited visibilities and use caution while driving.

... Wind Advisory remains in effect until noon EST today...

A Wind Advisory remains in effect until noon EST today.

West winds will rapidly increase in the wake of intense low
pressure moving into the Canadian Maritimes. West winds of 25 to
35 mph with gusts as high as 50 mph are expected overnight into
Monday morning.

These wind speeds could knock down some weak trees... tree limbs
and wires... especially those which are currently being weighed
down by snow and ice.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Wind Advisory is issued when sustained winds of 31 to 39 mph...
or gusts of 46 to 57 mph... are expected or occurring. Winds this
strong can make driving difficult... especially for high profile
vehicles. Use extra caution.

Residents are also urged to tie down loose objects such as
garbage cans and Holiday decorations that may be blown away by
wind.

PLEASE NOTE:
The weather data provided below is not current as of the exact time this report was posted on this message board. The information was gathered for December 31, 2008 at 11:55 PM Eastern Standard Time.

With roughly one million people cramming the streets around Times Square in New York City, the New Year’s ball is about to drop as we usher in the new 2009 calendar year. After the final day of 2008 had brought wintry weather to the region where anywhere from a coating to 4 inches of snow fell, strong generally northwesterly winds combined with the colder temperatures since Monday have put wind chill readings below zero in some areas.

Despite a few reporting sites indicating very windy conditions, a High Wind Warning and Wind Advisory were each dropped about an hour or two before midnight.

The New York City metropolitan area will see fair conditions for New Year’s Day, but cold peak temperatures only in the 20s. However, because it will be breezy at times, wind chill readings may not get above zero. By Friday, another clipper system is expected to pass through the northeastern United States, in turn bringing the possibility of scattered snow showers or a wintry mix of precipitation to the New York City metropolitan area. Temperatures will be roughly 10° milder than Thursday though.

Here is the latest weather statement from the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Upton, New York.

Cold and icy conditions overnight for the tri-state area...

On the heels of a rapidly deepening low pressure system east of New England, strong northwest winds will combine with a very cold air mass to produce wind chill values of zero to 5 below and as low as ten below well north and west of New York City.

In addition, many locations across the tri-state region received several inches of snowfall on Wednesday. The rapid onset of the cold air combined with wet roadways earlier in the day has left many secondary and untreated roadways snow packed with a layer of ice underneath. Blowing snow and reduced visibilities will further make travel difficult overnight.

Anyone traveling this New Year's Eve and through the overnight hours should prepare for icy conditions. Bridges and overpasses are especially vulnerable. Allow for extra time to reach your destination and use low speeds to account for the icy conditions.

Also note that since this is an extra special day on the calendar and the time of this report, I decided to provide weather conditions for three extra locations within New York City. They include Times Square, Brooklyn and The Bronx. None of these three reporting sites are from the National Weather Service.

A significant ice storm has set up across northern and western parts of the New York City metropolitan areas and other parts of the northeastern United States during this overnight period. The possibility exists in the distant suburbs for at least ½ inch of ice accumulation and that in turn could cause downed tree branches and power outages. Do not forget that roads will also be very dangerous where most ice accumulation is expected.

As the morning progresses, temperatures will slowly rise above freezing and the rain/snow line will move just slightly north of its current position. Precipitation will be all rain along the coast with still a wintry mix to icy conditions will remain inland.

The weather conditions are not expected to improve much over the next 36 to 48 hours as the threat of rain and/or snow showers exists through at least Thursday. Here are the latest statements from the National Weather Service.

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENTS by the National Weather Service in Upton, New York on January 7, 2009

A FREEZING RAIN ADVISORY is in effect until 4:00 AM Eastern Standard Time.

The National Weather Service in Upton, New York has issued a Freezing Rain Advisory which is in effect until 4:00 AM Eastern Standard Time on Wednesday.

Areas of freezing rain will continue through the early morning hours before changing over to all rain. With temperatures
hovering around the freezing mark, ice accumulations will be light with up to a tenth of an inch on trees, power lines and
untreated sidewalks with icy spots on secondary and less traveled roadways across the region.

A Freezing Rain Advisory means that periods of freezing rain or freezing drizzle will cause travel difficulties. Be prepared for slippery roads. Slow down and use caution while driving.

A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY is in effect from 5:00 AM to 9:00 AM Eastern Standard Time.

A Coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect from 5:00 AM to 9:00 AM Eastern Standard Time on Wednesday.

The combination of high astronomical tides and expected tidal departures of one and a half to two feet above normal will result in minor coastal flooding around the times of high tide late tonight into early Wednesday morning.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A coastal flood advisory indicates that onshore winds and tides will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore.

THE WEATHER OBSERVATIONS POSTED BELOW AREN'T CURRENT.
THEY ARE FROM THE OVERNIGHT HOURS OF THIS MORNING.

By far, this is the coldest overnight period of the season in the New York City metropolitan area and parts of the northeastern United States. The same Arctic air mass that has brought dangerous subzero temperatures and wind chill readings to the Upper Midwest part of the country as well as the Canadian Prairies region as overtaken here. The air is modified by comparison, but it is still bitterly cold.

Temperatures range from the low to mid teens in the urban areas to the single digits in the suburbs. A few spots are even below zero at this hour. Light snow is falling on the east end of Long Island while most locations are reporting clear to partly cloudy skies.

Temperatures will rebound over the weekend into the 20s after later today will only top out in the teens.

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT by the National Weather Service in Upton, New York on January 15, 2009

Wind chills below zero in New York City from tonight through Saturday morning...

The combination of air temperatures falling through the teens this evening and into the single digits after midnight, plus northwest winds 5 to 10 MPH will produce wind chills of 0° to -5° beginning late this evening. Temperatures will only rise into the mid teens during the day on Friday, but with a west wind increasing to around 15 MPH wind chills should remain below zero into early Friday afternoon.

Wind chills may barely rise above zero late Friday afternoon as winds start to diminish, but should drop to 0° to -5° again
from Friday night into Saturday morning as temperatures again drop into the single digits.

Be sure to dress appropriately for the bitter cold. Wear loose lightweight warm clothing in several layers and always wear a hat and gloves. Up to half of your body heat can be lost through an uncovered head..


The graphics pages will be done as soon as possible.
