New York Faces Brutal “Arctic Siege” After Historic Snowstorm

If you thought digging out from the snowstorm was the hard part… brace yourself for an "arctic siege" to impact the area all week!

Hudson Valley meteorologist Ben Noll says the week ahead will be downright brutal, with deep snow cover turning the region into what he describes as a freezer.

Hudson Valley Faces Brutal Arctic Week After Historic Snowstorm

Fresh snow reflects sunlight and traps cold air near the surface; this is a setup that allows nighttime temperatures to plunge even lower than forecast. Noll says that in the days following major storms, he almost always “takes the under” on temperature predictions.

That means it could be even colder than predicted, and his predictions are shockingly low for the Hudson Valley.

Today, Monday, will be the warmest day in the near future. And if you've been outside on Monday, you know it's freezing!

Below Zero Temps Expected This Week

According to Noll, every night after Monday this week is expected to drop below zero, with lows possibly hitting minus nine degrees on Wednesday and get even colder on Saturday.

Here’s how the week shapes up:

Monday:

• Day: 28 degrees
• Night: 3 degrees

Tuesday:

• Day: 14 degrees
• Night: -6 degrees

Wednesday:

• Day: 18 degrees
• Night: -9 degrees

Thursday:

• Day: 15 degrees
• Night: -5 degrees

Friday: Frigid

• Day: 13 degrees
• Night: -2 degrees

Saturday:

• Day: 19 degrees
• Night: -10 degrees

Sunday

• Day: 19 degrees
• Night: -2 degrees
