Arctic Temperatures Move In, Deep Freeze Expected Later This Week

NEW YORK (1010 WINS/AccuWeather/AP)  -- The weekend snowstorm is gone, but it left icy roads and sidewalks in its wake. And don't think the wintry weather is over.

A storm with bitter cold air and snow is expected to hit the Tri-State area by the end of the week, bringing overnight wind chills that are expected to hit below zero.

AccuWeather says the rest of January may be the coldest it has been in the past few years.

The National Weather Service says temperatures will dip to 5 to 10 degrees Wednesday night, and there will be a chance of snow showers in portions of the Tri-State area after midnight.

Highs on Thursday are expected to be around 20 degrees, before dropping Thursday night to around zero with wind chills as low as 15 below.

More snow showers are possible through the day.

Forecasters say highs on Friday will only be around 10 to 15 degrees with partly cloudy skies.

Wind chills are also expected to be as low as 15 below overnight Friday as the temperature returns to about zero.

The storm is now in the Northern Plains, where blizzard warnings have been posted.

The Northeast dug out yesterday from a storm that dumped as much as a foot of snow in the region.

Light snow is also expected tomorrow afternoon into the evening.
