Albany, NY – A surge of Arctic air will sweep across New York early next week, delivering another deep freeze to much of the state and reminding residents that winter is closing in. According to the NOAA Weather Prediction Center, the powerful cold front will move through the region Monday, November 10, bringing temperatures 20 to 25 degrees below normal by early Tuesday morning.
Forecasters expect overnight lows to dip into the upper-teens and low-20s across the Adirondacks and Central New York, with mid-20s to around 30 degrees from Albany to Syracuse. Even New York City suburbs could see readings near freezing, with widespread frost expected north and west of the metro area.
This will not be the season’s first freeze — most of upstate New York has already experienced subfreezing temperatures in late October — but forecasters say it will be the coldest and most widespread event yet, with wind chills falling into the teens statewide.
The Weather Prediction Center’s Day 3–7 Hazards Outlook places New York within a broad “Frost/Freeze” zone extending from the Gulf Coast to the Northeast. Brisk northwest winds of 25 to 35 mph will follow the front Monday night, producing bitter wind chills and possibly a few lake-effect snow showers east of Lakes Erie and Ontario.
Tuesday’s highs will stay in the 30s upstate and lower-40s downstate, with a gradual warm-up expected later in the week.
Residents are urged to bundle up, protect exposed pipes, and use caution on bridges and elevated roadways that may frost over before sunrise.
