Temperatures were be quite cold to start the day across the vast majority of the Northeast – and they still are! Dry air has moved in to the region from Canada as well. This will keep any clouds at bay, allowing for a mostly sunny day, with temperatures in the lower to middle 30’s for much of the area, with the usual colder readings off to the north and west.
