New Yorkers, prepare to wrap up once more after a few days of springtime warmth. As a cold front moves in, temperatures that reached the 50s earlier this week are set to plummet. The city will see a sharp transition back into winter over the weekend, with Sunday highs falling into the 30s.
What to Expect:
Thursday, February 28: Temperatures will be pleasant, reaching a high of about 48°F (9°C). But that’s only the quiet before the storm. There may be a few showers, but they won’t be particularly strong.
Friday, March 1: The day starts off relatively mild, but get ready for a chillier evening. The high will only reach 53°F (12°C), and temperatures will quickly drop overnight.
Saturday, March 2: Things will get breezy, and with clouds rolling in, temperatures will be even lower. You may want to grab that heavier jacket—temperatures will only top out around 39°F (4°C), and it’ll feel colder with the wind chill.
Sunday, March 3: The chill sets in for real. With temperatures struggling to reach 39°F (4°C) during the day and a low of 21°F (-6°C), it’s going to be a cold one. Sunny, but still frigid.
Monday, March 4: Expect a crisp start with highs only reaching the low 40s. It will still feel pretty cold, so keep your coat handy.
