New York City, Boston could break century-old cold weather records — but warmer temperatures are coming.
Should records fall Wednesday in Boston and New York City, they will break old-standing records from the late 1800s. Boston's record-low temperature to beat Wednesday is 38 degrees, which was set in 1882, and New York City's is 39 degrees, set in 1895.with just 24 more hours of this May chill before temperatures warm rapidly into the weekend.
After starting the week with highs in the upper 50s, New York City could soar to nearly 80 degrees by Friday. Chicago, which also started the week in the low 50s could warm to the mid-70s. And can Washington, D.C. touch 85 degrees Friday? It's looking likely. Warm weather can't come soon enough, as this early week cold snap came on the heels of a record-shattering cold Mother's Day weekend where more than 100 record lows were set. Since May began, Washington, D.C. has felt more like Cleveland, and Boston more like Milwaukee when comparing average temperatures. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh has only had one day with above-average temperatures this month.This rare cold was responsible for prolific amounts of snow which also made history.
Detroit has also had quite the flashback to winter in the past week. Last Friday they tied a cold record with a trace of snow, tied another cold record on Saturday with 0.5 inches of snow, and set another cold record Tuesday morning with more snow.
