(CBS) NEW YORK A day after tying the record for the coldest high
temperature during the month of August ever in New York City,
temperatures were expected only to warm up slightly, before finally
climbing back to normal by the end of the week.
The city along with the rest of the tri-state region is feeling the
chilly effect of a cold front sweeping through the region, accompanied
by cool rain showers.
Tuesday's high temperature in Central Park was just 59 degrees. The
normal high for Tuesday was 82 degrees. The normal low was 67.
Forecasters were calling for temperatures to rise to about 66 for the
high on Wednesday.

"This unusual blast of cold air smashed our previous record for the
coldest high temperature on August 21, which is 64 degrees, set back
in 1999," CBS 2 meteorologist Jason Cali told wcbstv.com.
In fact, the 59-degree high tied the record for the coldest high
temperature ever for the month of August in New York City, when it
reached just 59 degrees in 1911.
Tuesday's highs are more common in the city for the final days of
October, when the average high ranges from 59 degrees to 61 degrees.
The unusually cold air mass has come down from Canada, colliding with
the moisture from the remnants of Tropical Storm Erin.
"The good news is the cold air is not going to stick around. We'll get
back to more seasonal levels later this week and we may even sneak a
few more final hot weekends of the summer," Cali said.
Temperatures are expected to climb back into the upper 80s by Friday.
