NYC weather: Coldest temperatures of season possible for Valentine"s Day weekend, meteorologist says


NYC Weather

New Yorkers are in for a weather double whammy this week first more snow, then below-zero wind chill.

Between 3 and 5 inches of snow is expected to fall on New York City this evening, with a winter weather advisory in effect from 6 p.m. to noon Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.

Around New York City, snowfall is expected around 9 p.m. and overnight, with flurries lasting through the morning and even into Thursday, said FayeBarthold, a meteorologist in the service"s Long Island office.

Temperatures should reach the 40s on Wednesday, but it just keeps getting colder from there. Highs are expected to drop by about 10 degrees each day until Sunday, when they might reach only the high teens, Barthold said.

Saturday night lows could be in single digits, which would make itthe coldest night New Yorkers have seen this season, she said.

And for an added freeze on the night before Valentine"s Day,wind chills are predicted to drop as low as 10 to 15 degrees below zero Saturday night into Sunday morning.

"Saturday night would be a good night to stay in," Barthold said.

Lets just call that Mother Natures revenge on behalf single New Yorkers.
