It is hard to believe considering how frigid it is out there at the moment, but, according to the National Weather Service, temperatures in the area are set to rebound this weekend. In Manhattan specific, you can expect highs to near 39 degrees by Sunday—up from 18 degrees yesterday morning. 

It's clearly not the time to put away your parka just yet, but being able to walk around without feeling like your face might fall off is certainly a step up from the current state of affairs—the coldest weather we've had in two years, to be precise.

Don't get too comfortable, though: meteorologists are warning about the potential for snow late Sunday night.

“The computer models are kind of divergent in their solutions as to what’s going to happen with that,” Dave Dombek, senior meteorologist with AccuWeather, said to SILive.com. “We have some of the models that are bone dry; just keep it all suppressed to the south and it never does anything, and that certainly is a possibility, it just stays dry and does nothing. Another one of the models has a minor snow event, I wouldn’t call it anything real major at this point, but it would bring us a minor snow event sometime as we start the work week.”

There you have it, folks: January in New York.
