A Cold Weather Advisory is still in effect for New York City this morning because it feels dangerously cold outside. Temperatures are in the teens and single digits, and strong winds are making it feel even colder. Winds will stay gusty today, but the worst of the cold will ease later. For the rest of the week, it won’t be as brutally cold, but temperatures will still be below normal, with highs near 30 and very cold nights. Currently, no additional cold weather advisories are expected.
Strong winds will continue today, especially this afternoon, with gusts that could reach 30 to 40 mph in the city. While the wind will add to the chill, it’s not expected to cause widespread damage or meet the criteria for wind advisories. The coldest-feeling conditions after today are most likely late tonight into early Monday morning, but they are not expected to be severe or widespread enough to extend the advisory.
Minor coastal flooding is possible in parts of New York City, especially during this morning’s high tide and possibly again Monday morning. Higher-than-normal tides from the full moon, combined with ocean water being pushed toward the coast, may lead to some minor flooding in low-lying coastal areas. Impacts are expected to be limited, but in some spots, water may freeze on roads or sidewalks, creating icy conditions. Conditions should slowly improve as winds shift, though localized flooding could still happen around high tide.
