The New York City boroughs have entered a period of blustery conditions, enduring chilly temperatures in the early days of 2025. Forecasts obtained from National Weather Service flaunt mostly sunny skies over Manhattan with highs hovering near freezing and wind chill values significantly lower, dipping between 10 and 20 degrees. Manhattanites are set to brave gusts reaching up to 37 mph today.
Shifting to Brooklyn, the weather story doesn't differ remarkably, conditions are also cold, and winds equally robust with similar temperatures and wind chill factors, as recorded in NWS forecasts. Brooklyn's gusts are forecasted to peak at 38 mph today. This, brisk narrative continues into the Queens forecast, which NWS data predict to be blustery as well, with high temperatures marginally warmer, nearing the 32-degree mark.
Bronx residents, according to their local weather outlook, can expect sunny skies today, yet with biting cold as wind chills fall between 10 and 15 degrees. The borough will see sustained northwest winds 14 to 22 mph and gusts that might push past the 39 mph threshold. In Staten Island, the conditions mirror the surrounding boroughs with clear skies, highs around 32 degrees and similarly robust winds, as per National Weather Service reporting.
Amid these cold winds, the overarching narrative from the National Weather Service's Hazardous Weather Outlook for the New York region indicates no imminent hazardous weather that would trigger NWS warning criteria, over land. However, the situation at sea tells a different tale with Gale Warnings effective until Wednesday morning, implying a potential persistence of dangerous gusting conditions for mariners in the affected waters.
