At 11:50am temperatures in the Bronx are in the 20's with partly cloudy skies. What a difference a day makes, yesterday we were talking about the bone chilling cold; in contrast, today its rather pleasant without the wind. High temperatures should climb just above 32°F with clouds on the increase tonight. The top headline has been the potential New Years day Nor'easter, NCEP forecast models have been reorienting the configuration of this coastal storm day by day. Latest model analysis now indicate that our region will escape the brunt of this storm system as the storm sets its sight on norther New England, though we will still fell some impacts as the low travels up the coast. I still expect a rain/snow/sleet scenario beginning around 2pm New Years eve, the precipitation will likely change to plain old rain as temperatures increase slightly through the evening. By Friday, a mixture of rain and sleet will be on tap and should move out by evening. Saturday, colder air moves into the picture as this coastal storm intensifies over the Gulf of Maine an wraps some frigid air temperatures behind it. This might create some scattered snow flurries but the main story will likely be the frigid air and the wind on Saturday. The cold conditions should stick around for the foreseeable future, I find that the best way to combat the cold is to dress in layers, wear a scarf or two, and if anything else make sure to wear a nice warm hat that covers the ears and the face.
