WEATHER UPDATE: Take Care During Frigid Monday Commute

Two advisories from the National Weather Service for northern Westchester County:

• Special Weather Statement is in effect
• Hazardous Weather Outlook is in effect

Anything that melted during the warm Sunday weather will freeze hard overnight. That could include patches on roadways and sidewalks, meteorologists warn. And with the high only reaching 15 degrees, the sun won’t melt anything.

“When the arctic air arrives, untreated roads, sidewalks, overpasses and bridges will have the opportunity to freeze up,” stated AccuWeather.com Meteorologist Tyler Roys. “Temperatures can fall enough that road salt treatments may become ineffective.”

Here’s the forecast:

• Tonight-Mostly cloudy, with a low around 10. Light northwest wind increasing to 5 to 10 mph after midnight.
• Monday-Mostly cloudy, then gradually becoming sunny and cold, with a temperature falling to around 9 by 5pm. Wind chill values between -10 and zero. Northwest wind 14 to 18 mph, with gusts as high as 28 mph.
• Monday Night-Mostly clear, with a low around -4. Wind chill values between -5 and -10. Northwest wind 8 to 13 mph becoming light after midnight.
• Tuesday-Partly sunny and cold, with a high near 18. Wind chill values between -5 and 5. Calm wind becoming southwest 5 to 7 mph in the morning.
