NYC Weather: Flurries, Wintry Mix Before Temps Rise This Week

NEW YORK CITY — New York City is about to get hit by weather whiplash. Frigid temperatures, flurries and sleet are in the city’s forecast this week until Thursday, when highs will rise to 65 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.

The end of wintry weather won’t necessarily mean sunny skies, however — clouds, showers and a potential thunderstorm likely will dampen the return of spring-like conditions, the forecast states.

Thursday's chance of precipitation is 60 percent, according to the weather service.

Monday’s forecast calls for scattered flurries and wind chills between 10 and 20 degrees, according to the forecast.

New Yorkers will get a break from wintry precipitation Tuesday, but not from cold air, the forecast states. Wind chills will remain between 10 and 15 degrees, with blustery conditions.

And a wintry mix could greet New Yorkers during their Wednesday workday, according to the forecast.

“A slight chance of snow and sleet between 11am and 2pm, then a chance of rain and sleet,” the weather service said. “Mostly cloudy, with a high near 45.”
