Corrected entry: We're given a glimpse of the computer screen on which Tamlyn Tomita is monitoring the progress of the super-cold eye of the storm towards New York City. In that shot, the eye of the storm is in far northeastern Vermont. The camera very briefly turns to Tomita, so she can say that 'the temperature is dropping by ten degrees per second' and then returns to the screen. When it does, the eye of the storm has moved about 250 miles (to Western MA, I think). Even in the exaggerated world of this movie, that storm shouldn't change its location that fast.

Correction: When Tamlyn wakes Tom up, she says "I just received some satellite images from the space station.". Two separate pictures, taken at a far enough time apart (about 30-40 minutes based on the distance of the vortex from the first to second image she sees, and the time she estimates for it hitting NYC) would allow for the changes. The images show that the storm is moving in a southwestern direction, and thus be able to give her a time estimate with a timestamp of some sort on both pictures. Although that would mean that the storm would have to be moving at least 200 MPH. Aside from this she mentions nothing about the weather. She says that the vortex is at least fifty miles in diameter and will hit New York inside of an hour. When she says that the temperature is dropping ten degrees per second, it is just a model of the vortex over NYC on her screen, and about 5 minutes after the images are shown. So going based off the images that are shown, and the size and strength of the storms, it is possible that the storm could be moving near as fast as shown in the movie.
