New York, NY – Rivers and creeks across New York and New Jersey will remain affected by persistent ice as temperatures hover near or slightly below normal levels into early next week.
According to the US National Weather Service Middle Atlantic River Forecast Center, little to no precipitation is expected over the next five days. Ice formation will continue to impact waterways such as the Chenango River in Oxford, NY, and the Passaic River near Chatham, NJ. Other locations, including the Beaver Kill at Cooks Falls, NY, and the Delaware River at Belvidere, NJ, are also experiencing significant ice coverage.
Officials noted that no ice movement is expected in the near term, further stabilizing current conditions. Residents in affected areas are advised to exercise caution near waterways and monitor local updates.
Temperatures are expected to remain consistent, with little deviation from typical winter conditions. While the dry spell will minimize flooding risks, the ongoing ice presence may affect navigation and recreation on the rivers.
