Another arctic blast was moving into the tristate region Sunday night and was expected to settle over the area on Monday, meteorologists said. “A cold front moves across the region tonight, with arctic high pressure building in behind it Monday into Tuesday,” the National Weather Service said in a Sunday night advisory, adding it would move “from west to east toward and after midnight.” As of 10 p.m. Sunday, the cold front was just west of New York City and would “move through overnight,” National Weather Service senior meteorologist Jim Connolly told the Daily News, with 10-20mph north winds gusting about 30mph and temperatures in the 20s for most of the tristate area. “That means wind chills will be in the teens or single digits,” Connolly said. “Teens throughout the day but spots north and west in the single digits. And tomorrow night will be cold with low temperatures in the single digits and teens.” New York City was predicted to endure 20-degree lows, while outside the city would shiver in the teens, especially north and west. Passaic and Bergen counties in New Jersey, Orange County and the lower Hudson Valley in general, and the interior of Connecticut’s Fairfield County would all get the same cold treatment, Connolly said, adding “a lot of the lower Hudson Valley will get single digits, I think.” On the upside, dry weather will mean no ice and snow to contend with, Connolly said. As cold as it feels for the last few weeks of what is technically still fall — this year’s winter solstice occurs at 10:03 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 21 — it does not come close to New York City’s Dec. 8 record of 10 degrees set in 1882, or the 1876 Dec. 9 record of 7 degrees, Connolly said. New Jersey residents were bracing for the season’s coldest temperatures so far, plunging most of the state below freezing on Monday with potential 35mph gusts and a few possible flurries in the northwest, the Newark Star Ledger reported. Right after the latest cold front leaves, another may well descend, Accuweather predicted. “We believe that two to three more rounds of intense cold are possible from the Midwest to much of the East, spanning Dec. 10 to 19,” AccuWeather’s lead long-range meteorologist Paul Pastelok reported. “There is a chance for a frost or freeze late next week as far south as central Florida.” ...read more read less
