25 here, still 38 in the city.

Already dropping into the 20s in many suburban areas. Probably would have been the coldest night outside the urban areas, if it did not cloud over.

Historical: 

1798 - A four day storm was in progress in the northeastern U.S. The storm dropped a foot of snow on New York City and New Haven, and as much as three feet in Maine and New Hampshire. The snowstorm ushered in a long and severe winter, in some places the ground remained covered with snow until the following May. (David Ludlum)
 

1950: Called the "storm of the century" this storm impacted the eastern part of the US, killing hundreds and causing millions of dollars in damages. New York City recorded a 94 mph wind gust and Bear Mountain, just north of the city recorded a 140 mph gust. Record low temperatures were reported on the southern end of this storm in Tennessee and North Carolina. This storm was unique as Pittsburgh saw 30 inches of snow, while Buffalo saw 50 degrees with 50 mph wind gusts. 

1967 - Excessive rains in southern California caused the most severe flooding and the most damaging mmud slidesin 33 years. Downtown Los Angeles received eight inches of rain, and 14 inches fell in the mountains. (David Ludlum)

1985 - Hurricane Kate made landfall during the evening hours near Mexico Beach, FL. Wind gusts to 100 mph were reported at Cape San Blas FL. It was the latest known hurricane to hit the U.S. so far north. (The Weather Channel)

1987 - Squalls in the Lower Great Lakes Region and the Upper Ohio Valley produced 14 inches of snow at Snowshoe WV, and nearly eight inches at Syracuse NY. Eleven cities in the eastern U.S. reported record low temperatures for the date. Record lows included 21 degrees at Pinson AL, 9 degrees at Syracuse NY, and 8 degrees at Binghamton NY. Gale force winds lash the Middle and Northern Atlantic Coast, and the strong northwesterly winds produced wind chill readings as cold as 30 degrees below zero. Winds gusting to 60 mph at Trumansburg NY toppled a chimney onto a nearby truck. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1988 - High winds accompanied rain and snow in the northeastern U.S. Caribou ME received eight inches of snow in six hours, and Fort Kent ME was blanketed with a total of fourteen inches of snow. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1989 - The storm which produced thunderstorms and high winds in the northeastern U.S. the previous day, produced snow and high winds in New England, with blizzard conditions reported in Maine. Winds gusted to 55 mph at Boston MA, and reached 58 mph at Augusta ME, and hurricane force winds were reported off the coast of Maine. Snowfall totals ranged up to 18 inches at Vanceboro ME, with 17 inches at South Lincoln VT. There were thirty-five sstormrelated injuries in Maine. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

 

 

That 1950 storm seems like it was incredible. Could you imagine the hype if that occurred now.

mid 20s here this morning

Looks like 20s Friday night in the city.

Cold air drainage special.

Interesting article. I have found on calm, clear nights, the temperature difference can be surprising over very short distances. In February of 1979 Old Forge NY (not to far from Saranac Lake) hit the NY State record low of -52 degrees. Would have been interesting to know what the temperature was at  Lake Clear that night.

Looks like a chilly night outside NYC.

If it stays clear, the temperatures could hit single digits in parts of the Catskill and Adirondacks.

Temperatures in parts of the Hudson Valley already in the upper 20s. 37 here.

Looks like a stormy night tomorrow night. Heavy rain and winds near 40mph at times, especially near the coast. It has been a while.

We have issued a Freeze Watch for Bronx, Richmond (Staten Island), Southern Nassau, and Hudson Counties 12:00 am-8:00 am EST Tuesday November 21, 2023.  The watch is in effect where temps could fall to 30-32 degrees. The growing season has not officially ended here (ends Nov 21).

Forget the freeze watch where I am. It  was 29 this morning and that is about the 4th or 5th time below freezing.

Central Park is averaging a half degree below normal so far this month. Their average low is now 41°. The lowest they've been so far is 35°. This is only six degrees below their average low. UHI has a big effect when you're in a period of calm winds and calm weather.

Looks like the first half of November will be about 1-3 degrees below normal for most of the area.

29 frosty degrees here this morning.

Another night where the suburbs are some 10-15 degrees colder than the city.

With early sunset, temperatures drop fast early evening. Already down to 40 here after a high of 48.

Dropped below freezing last night around mid evening and stayed in the upper 20s all night. Just dropped to 27 my low for the day

Already below freezing here

2pm temps mid 40s, except Newark at 48. 45 at my house. I would think even the city may be 32 or 33 tonight.

33 my low.

You want snow, Anchorage has plenty. As of Thursday 21 inches on the ground.

Yeah, we’ll see if this is one of the few years that NYC can avoid a first freeze until December.

With the UHI so strong in NYC, it seems they sometimes get their first snow before or around the same time as the first freeze.
