Coastal Storm Brings Nasty Day & New England Snows
Good morning everyone. We have a nasty and raw Saturday in store for the area, but the big story will be the snow that some locales get in parts of New England when this is all said and done; to the likes of 12-18″+ in spots. There is also much cold air heading in behind our compact Nor’easter, and that’ll give us a taste of early winter ahead of schedule.
SATELLITE
As you can see on the satellite, we’re dealing with a compact system that’s spooling up nice and tight. The heaviest rain for us is over, but we’ll be dealing with on and off light to moderate rain all day and into the early evening possibly. Winds will be howling, especially along the immediate coast at the rate of 20-30mph and gusts to 40mph possible. The Forks of LI may see the strongest winds, with gusts 40-50+ possible as our system heads into New England. Since we’re at our high for the day of 42/43 degrees, its possible you may see a few wet snowflakes mixed in towards the end.
Interior parts of New England are going to get slammed snow-wise, with 12-18″+ of snow possible once our system peaks and cold air is fully wrapped in.
For our area, be aware of possible patches of black ice overnight as lows drop to the upper 20’s to low 30’s.
REGIONAL RADAR
Tomorrow we completely dry everything out, but it’ll be a cold one for this time of year. People think December = cold, but our average highs are still in the upper 40’s this time of year. We’ll be lucky to hit 40 tomorrow under full sunshine and a stiff breeze, with lows in the upper 20’s to near 30 overnight.
LOCAL RADAR NEW YORK CITY
Cold weather continues till mid-week, with sunshine, highs near 40, and lows in the upper 20’s to near 30 both Monday and Tuesday.
Temps modify slightly back towards the average realm, with mid 40’s possible Wednesday & more sunshine.
LOCAL RADAR PHILADELPHIA
In the long range, I don’t see anything conducive for snow in our area just yet, but we will have a few strong systems to deal with. For now, the track is through the Great Lakes, which will equate to more rain, wind, and mild conditions ahead of the front; cold conditions once each one passes.
