NEW YORK — It was another record breaker Sunday with highs in the upper 60s across the region.

A day after Saturday's record-setting high temperatures, New York City set another record-high Sunday when it hit 68 degrees in Central Park, edging out the previous record of 66 set just three years ago in 2017.

"As of 1:30 p.m., new record highs have been set at Central Park (68°), Newark (69°), JFK (68°), Islip (68°), and Bridgeport (69°)," the National Weather Service tweeted Sunday, confirming the record-breaking temperatures.

Bridgeport's 69 degrees is the warmest January temp on record, going back about 70 years worth of record-keeping at Bridgeport.

Looking ahead to the rest of the week, a cold front arrives Sunday night. As the northerly wind flow diminishes, cooler air will build. However, temperatures will remain above average for this time of year for the next few days.

An arctic high returns Thursday night, knocking temperatures down below freezing. There is a chance of a few showers Tuesday afternoon.

Expect mainly rain on Thursday with a wintry mix possible in the parts of the Hudson Valley and Connecticut. The coldest air of the week arrives on Friday with highs in the 30s followed by rain and snow on Saturday.
