After an extremely cold Thanksgiving, temperatures will stay well below normal for Black Friday, forecasters said.
Temperatures broke a 31-year record even before an arctic chill moved in around midnight. Friday will be sunny with highs around freezing or lower, the National Weather Service said.
"It won’t be as cold as yesterday," News 12 Long Island meteorologist Pat Cavlin said. "It’s not going to have the same bite."
At 6 a.m., Long Island MacArthur Airport in Ronkonkoma recorded a temperature of 16 degrees, feeling more like 6 with wind chill.
Friday night should have mostly clear skies, making it "great travel weather," Cavlin said. Temperatures may rise slightly overnight, the weather service said.
Saturday will get all the way up to the low 50s, finally bringing in a string of seasonable days.
"There is an end in sight," Cavlin said.
Saturday afternoon is expected to have light rain, getting moderate to heavy at night. Minor urban and poor drainage flooding is possible, but widespread flooding is unlikely, the weather service said.
Sunday and Monday will be in the 50s again, with rain possible both days.
