The National Weather Service said temperatures will fall, with wind chills dropping into the teens and, farther south in the 20s, overnight Monday, Dec. 29, into Tuesday, Dec. 30.
Wind gusts will be between 40-50 mph in much of the Northeast during that time and may down trees and lines across the Northeast as colder air pours in.
AccuWeather meteorologists say this is the second punch in a one-two storm sequence and the more significant one. It’s the same system that drenched California on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
“An icy corridor is expected from the storm across portions of the Northeast and New England,” AccuWeather Meteorologist Brandon Buckingham said.
That icy area will cover much of New York, part of northeast Pennsylvania, northwest New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and northern New England.
High winds and cold air will follow the front. Because the storm may qualify as a bomb cyclone, rapid pressure changes will drive an expansive swath of wind from the Midwest to the Atlantic Seaboard.
The passage of the cold front on Monday will bring in colder air that will last the rest of the week, with blustery winds continuing into New Year’s Eve on Wednesday, Dec. 31.
