3/1 New York Weather 6 PM: Cold Weather Advisory

Good evening. New York. I'm Aaron Jolly. Folks, that high pressure system parked over the Great Lakes? It's acting like a giant fan, pulling Arctic air straight down into our backyard. That's why your skies look gorgeous right now. but stepping outside tells a different story. In the next 24 hours. The city got off easy today. Manhattan hit 38 degrees under sunshine. Feels almost pleasant until the sun drops. Tonight you're looking at 22 degrees, wind chills near 14. That damp cold that sneaks through your coat zipper. Drive north on the Thruway and the temperature just keeps falling. Albany topped out at 32 degrees today. Tonight? Five degrees. Five. The kind of cold where your car door handle stings your palm. Western New York only managed 25 degrees for a high. Syracuse, 24. Tonight both regions plunge into single digits, with feels like temperatures around 4 degrees. Your breath will freeze on your scarf before you reach the mailbox. A serious note for the North Country. A Cold Weather Advisory kicks in from 1 A.M. To 8 A.M. Monday across parts of the Adirondacks. Wind chills could hit 15 to 25 below zero. That's frostbite in 30 minutes on exposed skin. Cover every inch if you're heading out early. Monday stays locked in the freezer statewide. The city barely cracks 31 degrees. but then. The plot twists. Tuesday a warm front slides in bringing a wintry mix that turns to rain. Messy commute likely. After that, temperatures go on a rocket ride. By next weekend we could flirt with 60 degrees. The catch? Multiple rounds of rain from Wednesday straight through Saturday. Pick your trade off. Bitter cold or soggy warmth. Charge your phone tonight. Cold batteries drain fast. and you'll want your weather app ready for that Tuesday mess. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
