As you can see;with only a few exceptions where the high temperature might not get above 35 and therefore the projected high will fall a degree or two below normal,for the rest of the month,while it won't get as warm as this weekend (January 11-12,2020), it'll still remain above and in some instances (like from January 13-16),well above normal (to the tune of 10 to as much as 20 degrees above normal; mainly on January 15-16,2020), prompting the monthly average temperature to threaten all-time record territory and make this January (of 2020),the warmest January ever for the New York City metro-area that has been so far indicative of this 2019-20 winter season through January 10-11,2020.
