Ridgewood NJ, Gusty northwest winds will continue into this evening before gradually diminishing overnight. A much colder airmass will
continue to be ushered in tonight with temperatures falling into the teens and lower 20s. These temperatures will combine with the
wind to make it feel like the single digits across the interior and the lower to middle teens across coastal Connecticut, New York
City Metro, and Long Island.
If you plan on being outdoors tonight, be prepared for cold wind chills and dress accordingly for conditions more typical of the middle of winter.
