Monday's milder weather in New York City is not a sign of things to come with the return of snow and frigid air on the horizon.
Monday is shaping up to be a breezy and milder day in New York City with temperatures set to soar into the middle 40s.
However, the polar vortex is sinking southward and will cause noticeably colder air to sweep in for Monday night and Tuesday. About 20 degrees will separate Monday's high from Tuesday's.
In fact, Tuesday's high will likely be recorded in the predawn hours than the afternoon.
Residents will not just be bundling up on Tuesday, but will also be clearing snow. An Alberta Clipper at the leading edge of the arctic blast will spread a band of snow from the Ohio Valley
