Daily News | Holiday weather whipsaw: From frigid Christmas to near record warmth New Year’s Day
Christmas Eve, Dec. 24, reached only 18 degrees marking a record “low high” for that day.
New Year’s Day, Jan. 1, is forecast to reach 62, just shy of a record high of 64 for the day set in 2005.Though it will be unusually warm for the Mummers Parade, it could be a bit damp, according to the National Weather Service forecast.
Dodd said, however, that big swings are not unusual during a La Niña weather pattern, which is dominated by cold ocean temperatures in the equatorial Pacific. The recent local arctic blast, he said, was the result of a low pressure system that started in the west and moved east. The “exceptionally deep storm system” brought blizzard conditions to Buffalo and a frigid Christmas to Philly.It will be followed over the next few days by a high pressure system moving in from the Southern plains and should result in fair weather most of the week.
Dodd said there is a possibility of rain New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day. However, he said, that is far out enough that the forecast could change.For Monday, the forecast calls for a high of about 31 and an overnight low of 21.Then the days gradually get warmer with a forecast high of 52 for Friday.New Year’s Day should reach in the low 60s, with a chance of rain nearing 50%.
