Arctic high pressure building into the region is plunging the tri-state area into the depths of winter's chill for at least seven days straight, with forecasters saying temps are likely to stay below freezing through New Year's weekend.
The National Weather Service said Tuesday Central Park is expected to see an average temperature of 19 degrees, well below the normal average of 29 degrees for the next seven-day period.
Tuesday is expected to be the warmest day of the frigid stretch, as highs in Central Park hit a comparatively balmy 31 degrees. The next several days of bone-chilling cold will keep the region in the low to mid 20s until Jan. 4, when we just maybe might hit freezing again.
Wind chills will make it feel much colder, though, and people who are particularly vulnerable to such weather are advised to stay inside as much as possible. Sun over the next few days won't help much, and Storm Team 4 says a chance for snow showers returns Friday into Saturday.
