Honestly, if you've lived in Yonkers long enough, you know the drill. One minute you're looking at the Palisades and everything’s crystal clear, and the next, a "fast-moving system" is crawling up the Saw Mill Parkway and turning the city into a giant snow globe.
Right now, we're staring down a Yonkers 10 day weather forecast that looks like a classic New York January rollercoaster. We’ve got a mix of "wait, is it actually snowing?" and "okay, now my face is numb" coming our way. Learn more on a connected issue: this related article.
The Immediate Outlook: Sunday’s Snow Reality
Forget the hype you might hear about massive blizzards for a second. Let's look at the actual numbers. For Sunday, January 18, 2026, we’re looking at a high of 33°F and a low of 22°F.
Basically, it's going to be a snow day, but not the kind where you’re buried. The daytime precipitation chance sits at 40%, bumping up to 45% at night. Local experts, including those from the National Weather Service, are calling for about 1 to 3 inches across the area. Since the humidity is hovering at a heavy 94%, expect that wet, heavy snow that’s a pain to shovel but great for a quick snowball fight. Further analysis by Apartment Therapy explores similar views on the subject.
The wind is coming from the north at a gentle 5 mph, so we aren't dealing with crazy drifts just yet.
The Mid-Week Arctic Slap
Once that Sunday snow tapers off into "light snow" by evening, things get... crisp. Very crisp.
By Tuesday, January 20, the sun comes out, but don't let that fool you. We’re looking at a high of only 21°F and a low of 11°F. When you add in a 12 mph wind coming from the west, that "RealFeel" is going to be well into the single digits. This is the part of the forecast most people ignore until they’re standing at the Metro-North station wishing they’d worn the heavy parka.
Here is the vibe for the next few days in prose:
- Monday: A bit of a transition. Partly sunny with a high of 30°F. Winds pick up to 11 mph from the southwest.
- Tuesday: The coldest day of the stretch. Pure sun, but a high of 21°F.
- Wednesday: Clouds return. It "warms up" to 33°F, but the low stays stuck at 11°F.
- Thursday: A nice little break. Mostly sunny, hitting 37°F.
Will It Snow Again Next Weekend?
The short answer: potentially.
As we push into Saturday, January 24, the forecast shows another round of snow with a 30% chance during both the day and night. The high will be around 34°F, but the real story is what happens immediately after.
Sunday, January 25, brings a massive temperature drop. We’re talking a high of 14°F and a low of 3°F. Yeah, you read that right. 3°F. With a 13 mph wind from the northwest, that's the kind of cold that finds every gap in your window seals.
What This Means for Your Commute and Home
Kinda feels like winter finally showed up, right?
NYC Emergency Management has already issued travel advisories for the region for the start of this 10-day window. While 1-3 inches of snow doesn't sound like much, in Yonkers—with our hills—it’s enough to make Getty Square a bit of a mess.
If you're driving, the "black ice" threat is real for the nights of Monday and Tuesday as that Sunday slush freezes solid. Honestly, just make sure your tires aren't bald and you've got plenty of that orange de-icer fluid.
Actionable Steps for the Week Ahead
- Shovel early on Sunday: Since the temps stay near 33°F, the snow will be heavy. If you wait until Monday when it drops to 15°F at night, that slush will turn into concrete.
- Check the pipes: For the nights of Jan 20 and Jan 25, when lows hit 11°F and 3°F, make sure your heat is up. If you have a room that always stays cold, crack the faucet to a drip.
- Layers are your best friend: Tuesday and the following Sunday are "double-sock" days. The wind from the northwest will be biting.
The Yonkers 10 day weather forecast is essentially a tale of two halves: a snowy start followed by a deep, Arctic freeze. Stay warm out there.
