Artic Express on the way
This Thursday and Friday will be the coldest temperatures of the winter so far. Two days ago it stayed in the 20s in New York City, but that will be eclipsed Friday when the temperature stays in the teens most of the day. Add a gusty wind and the outdoors will be very unfriendly to say the least. Through upstate New York the temperature is likely to hold in the single digits much of Friday, and in northern New England it will remain below zero. This particular cold wave will be directed primarily into the East with little impact through the Central states. That will change next week when cold weather will consume a much larger portion of the country.
