FAST MOVING MAJOR SYSTEM TO HIT NYC WITH SNOW JAB
FAST MOVING MAJOR SYSTEM TO HIT NYC WITH SNOW JAB
FAST MOVING MAJOR SYSTEM TO HIT NYC WITH SNOW JAB – Good morning everyone. Spring time has arrived and things are looking up for a brief moment, but a storm is a brewin’ and the snow maps will be firing up soon.
As of now, sun continues today, but so does the wind machine. We’ll reach a balmy mid to upper 20’s, although the wind chill will be near 0°. Still an improvement over the -10 to -20° we’ve had. The warm flow continues into tomorrow, with morning sun and highs in the low 30’s. Could we break freezing? It’s gonna be close, so get that sun tan lotion out and frozen margarita machine ready.
Clouds increase overnight tomorow as low pressure from the Deep South begins to move offshore and parallels the East Coast. Questions still remain on how close the core of this powerful system gets to the coast. However, it’s safe to say that the NYC area will see a quick burst of some fast accumulating snow.
There are several factors we’ll be watching for. First and formost, the final track of the system. This will be crucial for two reason – a. Western edge of precip. b. Rain/snow line.
Yes, rain/snow line could be an issue for some since this low’s origins will make it very juicy and warm. If it gets too close, areas such as eastern Long Island and Southeast New England could see some heavy rain out of this; possibly a snow to rain and back to snow type situation.
Either way, the speed of the Noreaster will be the sparing factor. We’ll be watching very closely for the final path and structure of this major snowstorm, for it will be the deciding factor as to whether we see a 2-4/3-6 or a 4-8” type event. These are the numbers I’m floating about in my head right snow. We still have to watch that western cutoff as well, because the difference between 2-4” and banging down my door asking me where the snow is, will be very dramatic.
That being said, parts of New England get crushed, with 12+” and blizzard conditions in some areas. The Jersey shore gets in on the action too with a quick shot of some snow. We’re just the jelly in the middle of the sandwich and Mother Nature is working the sandwich counter. You know how that can go.
Stay tuned!
