New York State – Gray skies hang low over Central Park this morning, and wet pavement glistens in a brisk wind as temperatures hover in the mid-30s. The air feels raw. Drivers stepping out early can see their breath, and any leftover moisture could refreeze quickly if temperatures dip after sunset.
According to the National Weather Service in New York, temperatures sit near 34°F late this morning with northwest winds around 10 mph. Highs reach the upper 30s today under partial sun, but another weak system brings a 30% chance of snow showers late Friday into early Saturday. Lows drop to 29°F Friday night, cold enough for slick spots.
Across upstate New York and into interior New England, lake-enhanced snow continues east of Lake Ontario with light accumulations. Roads in elevated areas may turn slushy. Plan extra travel time if heading north.
Valentine’s Weekend stays seasonably cool but manageable. Saturday climbs into the low 40s with more sun. By Sunday night, a 40% chance of rain and snow returns to the city. Surface temperatures near 34°F raise a flash-freeze concern if wet roads refreeze toward daybreak Monday.
The bigger shift arrives next week. NOAA’s 6–10 day outlook shows above-normal temperatures building across the East. Highs could surge into the 50s and possibly 60s by midweek as milder air spreads nationwide. To be fair, that thaw may feel like early spring.
Five Day Outlook for New York, NY:
Today: High 37°F, partly sunny.
Friday: High 37°F, late snow shower chance, low 29°F.
Saturday: High 42°F, mostly sunny.
Sunday: High 40°F, rain/snow late, low 34°F.
Monday: High near mid-40s, moderating trend begins.
