Frigid Temperatures Loom Over the Big Apple: Prepare for Uncomfortable Wake-Ups and Chilly Afternoons
New York residents can expect a prolonged period of frosty conditions, as a series of cold fronts are expected to sweep through the region this week. According to the National Weather Service, Monday night's temperatures will plummet into the teens, with wind chills making it feel like several degrees below zero.
Tuesday's forecast is similarly bleak, with highs in the lower 20s that will be felt even more sharply by the wind chill factor, rendering it as if temperatures had dipped into single digits and teens. As evening falls, high pressure will move overhead, bringing temperatures down further.
The weather service has cautioned against an uncomfortable week ahead, warning of "wake-up calls" that will make mid-week mornings particularly frigid. While temperatures are expected to rebound somewhat by Wednesday, with daytime highs in the 30s, Thursday's forecast is more mixed, with a chance of rain or snow showers adding to the uncertainty.
As the weekend approaches, cold fronts moving across the region on Thursday and Friday evening will bring frosty conditions once again. New York City Emergency Management has issued a warning, advising residents to prepare for life-threatening conditions, especially for those without proper winter gear or reliable heat indoors.
Residents are advised to limit their time outdoors, cover exposed skin when venturing out, and seek assistance from 311 if heat or hot water issues cannot be resolved with landlords. In a bid to support vulnerable populations, the city has also expanded outreach services to offer shelter to homeless individuals.
