STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — New York City can expect a chilly start to the new week as a cold front sweeps over the Northeast region — but after that, temperatures will start to climb by midweek, according to forecasters.
Accuweather meteorologists expect a transition to warmer weather this week for much of the country. In the Northeast, that transition will be delayed, but temperatures will still steer warm by the end of the week.
The same area of high pressure responsible for the warmup in the Midwest will also cause temperatures to jump in the east later this week as it moves towards the coast. At the same time, a southwesterly flow will come up, which will also help to prolong dry conditions in the area.
In the big cities along the I-95 corridor, including New York City, the mercury will rise to or above 60 for multiple days beginning Thursday. It’s possible some areas further south could even approach highs in the 70s — temperatures that would be at least 15 degrees above the historical average.
Staten Island will have mostly sunny days this week with temperatures staying in the low 50s until Thursday and Friday, when warmer temperatures will be closer to 60 degrees.
It won’t last very long though, as a morning shower and a high of 56 degrees is forecasted for Saturday, with temperatures continuing to drop in the mid-50s throughout the rest of the weekend and into the next week.
The next couple of weeks look like they’ll bring above-average temperatures for the month to New York, according to the National Weather Service’s (NWS) Climate Prediction Center.
Typically, the average high temperature for November hovers somewhere between 59 and 50, the former number marking the average temperature for the first day of the month and the latter the last day. The average low traditionally sits somewhere between 47 and 38 degrees, according to weather spark.
