Temperatures for Christmas in New York
New York faces a rain storm and strong winds, threatening to affect the countdown to Christmas.
Although mild weather and clear skies occurred on the last weekend of fall, the New York City Department of Emergency Management issued a warning and residents are advised to limit travel and stay home during periods of weather severe. Those who need to go out should do so with caution.
The storm, generated by a low pressure system moving north from Florida, is expected to dump 1.5 to 3 inches of rain before ending.
A flood watch has been issued for much of New Jersey and wind watches have been issued from Fairfield County (CT) to Westchester (NY), including Long Island (NY). Wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph could cause damage and isolated power outages, reaching up to 50 to 60 mph near the coast.
To the south, in the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida, 3 to 5 inches of rain with possible flash flooding is forecast before the storm leaves the region on Monday.
Meteorologist Brittany Bell advises checking storm drains and securing loose items, as well as holiday decorations, to prepare for adverse conditions.
Starting next week, lower temperatures are anticipated in New York, hovering around 40°F (4°C), marking the official start of winter on Thursday, December 21.
The new forecast calls for above-average temperatures for nearly all of the U.S. (including Hawaii and much of Alaska) from Dec. 20 to Dec. 26, according to the Climate Prediction Center. There needs to be at least an inch of snow on the ground where you live on December 25th for you to call it a white Christmas. Above-average temperatures would threaten to stifle the freezing conditions needed for existing snow to stick to the ground and increase the chances that any new precipitation will fall as rain rather than snow.
However, in most of the United States the above-average temperatures are tied to warm, moist air from the Pacific forecast to be pumped east across the United States via the jet stream, a river of air high in the atmosphere that carries storms. At this time it is very common that one of the most asked questions among people who live in the United States is when it will snow, especially in its most emblematic cities, including New York. Surprisingly and contrary to what we see in Christmas movies, New York has gone almost 22 months without fresh snowfall, and everything seems to indicate that this trend will continue for the remainder of December 2023.
According to meteorological records , New York has gone more than 650 days without recording at least an inch of snow in a single day, surpassing the previous streak of 383 days without snowfall that ended in March 1998. In addition, it is predicted that for the In the coming days and weeks, there will be frigid weather, although with very little chance of any snowfall. “The cold air raises the big question of when snow could arrive on the Interstate 95 corridor. We have it in Watertown (New York). That is sure.
But when will we have it in places like Boston, Baltimore or Philadelphia? “It’s been too long,” said the channel’s meteorologist, Amy Freeze. At the beginning of last week, intense cold was felt in the city; Maximum temperatures were recorded that barely exceeded the freezing point throughout the day, with thermal sensations ranging from -5°C to -12°C. Although the weather was favorable for snowfall, only a few flakes were perceived around Rockefeller Center and Central Park.
This week, there will be a spell of rain that will again make the environment feel cooler, but freezing temperatures will not be recorded, the Weather Channel predicts. But in the northern areas of New York state there will already be snowy landscapes, due to the first winter storm that has generated more than a meter of snow on the surface, particularly in some towns such as Highmarket and Redfield.
But for the city, Accuweather has predicted a cold but sunny Christmas, since on the 24th, temperatures will be between 4° and 8°C, and on the 25th it will be very lonely, with temperatures that will range between 6° and 10°C. °C.Despite the cold, New York City lights up with festive lights and Christmas decorations. Iconic locations such as Times Square, Rockefeller Center and Fifth Avenue are decorated with lights and Christmas trees, creating an enchanting atmosphere.
In short, New York during Christmas and New Year offers a festive atmosphere with the possibility of enjoying the decorations, lights and special events. However, it is essential to prepare for cold weather and be ready to face winter conditions, especially if you plan to spend time outdoors.
