If Monday temperatures have not been cold enough, the cold air core will worsen overnight. This will cause freezing temperatures Tuesday morning for several hours. By tonight, wind chills in NYC will drop to single digits.
Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman opened warming centers Sunday afternoon all throughout Nassau ahead of frigid temps.
A wind chill advisory has already been issued for Sullivan and Ulster counties for projected wind chills of -15 to -25 degrees, though more counties are expected to be added.
