Summary of article:
The mild weather in New York this week will turn cold over the weekend. The low pressure system will bring wind, rain and cold air from the north, causing temperatures to drop to more than 40 degrees. Brief snowfalls may occur in the highlands, and the coast also needs to be protected from high winds and tidal flooding.
This week’s mild weather is coming to an end in New York, and the weekend is set to be noticeably cooler. As the low pressure system brings wind and rain and cold air from the north moves south, temperatures are expected to drop into the high 40s Fahrenheit from the 13th (Friday) to the 15th (Sunday), a sharp drop of 10 to 15 degrees compared to most of this week. Citizens will transition from autumn weather of around 60 degrees Fahrenheit to wet and cold weather with wind and rain, so they will need to bring more clothing and umbrellas when going out.
The National Weather Service predicted on the 11th that this wave of weather change would be brought about by a low pressure system moving eastward from the Ohio Valley. The system is expected to pass south of the local area from the afternoon to evening of the 12th (Thursday), and will remain off the coast on the 13th, and then gradually move away to the northeast. Rain may continue through the morning of the 14th (Saturday), and is most likely from the afternoon of the 12th to the afternoon of the 13th. Moderate to locally heavy rain may occur in some areas.
Snowfall opportunities are mainly concentrated in inland highlands, from late night on the 12th to early morning on the 13th, and from late night on the 13th to early morning on the 14th. The weather service expects little or no accumulation even if wet snow develops.
Bureau of Meteorology meteorologist Brian Siemnecki said temperatures so far this year have been slightly warmer than last year, but that can’t be used to conclude that extreme cold won’t return this winter. “It’s not winter yet, it’s still autumn.” In February this year, the city reported seven deaths in private residences from hypothermia-related causes, and at least 15 outdoor deaths believed to be directly related to hypothermia.
In terms of temperature, after the cold air moves from the north to the south, the temperature will drop above 40 degrees Fahrenheit from the 13th to the 15th (Sunday), which is about 10 to 15 degrees lower than this week; It is expected to exceed 50 degrees on the 16th (Monday) and 17th (Tuesday). Although it will gradually become dry over the weekend, northwesterly winds will still blow, and the autumn cold will be more obvious.
Coastal residents are also advised to pay attention to the tides. During daytime high tide on the 12th and 13th, minor flooding may occur in some coastal areas. The inner bays on the southern coast of western Long Island and the southwestern coast of Connecticut are more vulnerable to the impact. The strongest wind gusts were expected to reach 25 to 30 mph from the evening of the 12th to the 13th at many locations in New York City, Long Island, and along the Connecticut coast.
The Municipal Housing Preservation and Development Bureau determines that the heating season is from October 1 each year to May 31 of the following year. From 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., when the outdoor temperature is below 55 degrees Fahrenheit, the indoor temperature should be at least 68 degrees; From 10 pm to 6 am, regardless of the outdoor temperature, the indoor temperature should be at least 62 degrees. If the heating is inadequate, you should first contact your landlord. If your complaint is not resolved, you can complain by calling 311.
