BITTER COLD FOCUS SNOW OPPORTUNITIES SECONDARY
BITTER COLD FOCUS SNOW OPPORTUNITIES SECONDARY – Good cold morning everyone. While many were focused on record breaking, long-range snowstorms, the focus was lost on the main story: bitter cold air.
Cold air has invaded the area behind the system that gave areas just outside the NYC area a White Christmas, and it’s here to stay for a little while. Today, we’ll have sun and clouds, with highs in the upper 20’s to near 30. Believe it or not, this isn’t the core of the cold air yet.
We drop into the mid to upper teens tonight (low to teens to single digits away from the NYC area), then low to mid 20’s as highs tomorrow, even with sunny skies. The core moves over us on Thursday, with highs in the upper teens to low 20’s, and lows in the upper single digits to low teens overnight and into early Friday morning.
Highs Friday and into early next week look to remain in the low to mid 20’s, and single digits/teens at night. This will be a fairly long period of bitter cold air for NYC metro area standards. Typically we’ll see a few days of this before returning to normal, but this shot looks to remain with us for 7-10 days at least.
As far as snow opportunities, they remain and we’ll be keeping a close eye on them. Models continue to be all over the place, and I always approach snow opportunities when bitter cold air is in place, with caution. Why? Sometimes it suppresses things too far south or leads to development too far offshore.
We will continue to keep an eye on the energy that will be transiting near the area Friday through Monday, but as of now it looks like we’ll miss out on anything big Friday and will have to look at late Sunday to Monday for the next opportunity. Remember though, they’re just opportunities at this point and nothing is written in stone.
In the long range, it’s possible we could get another “relax” period for the 2nd 1/3 of January like we did before Christmas. What this would mean for us if it pans out, would be a return to normal, or a bump in temps past the normal realm.
