New York City, New York – After weeks of entrenched winter cold, New York is expected to see a modest temperature rebound during the first full week of February, offering a small step toward relief as the state moves deeper into the season.
According to the National Weather Service and NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center, temperatures from Tuesday through the following Monday are still favored to run below normal statewide. However, highs are expected to climb closer to seasonal averages compared to late January. In New York City and along the I-95 corridor, daytime highs may reach the upper 20s to low 30s at times, with overnight lows generally settling in the teens.
Colder conditions will continue across upstate New York, including the North Country and higher elevations, where single-digit lows remain possible. Even so, the broader outlook does not indicate a prolonged Arctic outbreak, signaling a pause from the most extreme cold.
Snow chances appear limited overall, especially for downstate areas, which may help keep travel manageable on major routes such as I-87, I-90, and I-95. Drivers should remain alert for refreezing overnight, particularly on bridges and untreated roads.
Residents are encouraged to continue winter precautions, including protecting pipes and allowing extra travel time during colder mornings. While this warm-up is subtle, it marks a gradual easing of winter’s grip as February unfolds, with additional updates possible as conditions evolve.
