NYC Area Forecast: Cold today, rain chances return this weekend
A deepening storm system in New England has done an effective job at tugging in some very cold air from Canada – and temperatures are well below normal throughout much of the Northeast states today. The movement of cold air, known more affectionately as cold air advection, will continue throughout the day today. Along with the cold temperatures will come blustery winds as the storm system deepens to our north and east.
Accordingly, the National Weather Service has issued Wind Advisories across parts of the Mid Atlantic, including Southern New Jersey. These Wind Advisories are placed where the strongest atmospheric pressure gradient is expected to be, where wind gusts will likely be the most impressive this afternoon. The Wind Advisories run until the very late afternoon, when stronger winds are expected to decrease in intensity.
