NEW YORK — The New York weather forecast for the weekend: cold, colder, coldest.
Officials warned Friday of single-digit temperatures and wind gusts of up to 45 mph from an arctic front blowing through the city and its suburbs after an unseasonably mild January, with the wind chill making the outdoors feel more like 5 to 10 degrees below zero in the coldest snap of 2023.
“A dangerously cold air mass is expected to settle over the region,” warned a National Weather Service bulletin advising the change would be dramatic. By midafternoon, the temperature was already heading into the teens compared to a Thursday afternoon high of 39 degrees.
