Nyack's Forecast: Countdown to Christmas
Here's what to expect as we go through the work week toward the holidays, whether you're traveling far or staying near Piermont.
NYACK, NY — Bitter cold has returned to start the work week, with low temperatures Monday night expected to go to single digits in the lower Hudson Valley to around 20 across metropolitan New York City
"So the next 24 hours are going to be a bit rough… be sure to plan accordingly," said Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather. "Beyond that… things begin to moderate, and we start to see signs of 'normalcy.' Tuesday is still cold … but ‘only’ about 5 degrees below average instead of 15°, then back to average by Wednesday."
So the official start of winter will see average winter temps.
