NYC Finds Itself In Mild Quadrant Next 2 Systems
02/21/24 11:11am ET
Good morning everyone. Our quiet weather continues aside from some on & off rain expected up and down the East Coast late Thursday into Friday. No severe weather is expected as well as no flooding potential. The only think we have is the chance for some light to moderate snow well-inland for interior parts of the Northeast and New England.
This looks to be the pattern as things temporarily grow quiet throughout the Lower 48, until our next West Coast system is expected some time between late Saturday night and Monday. That one wants to take the “northern route”, sending mild air ahead of it into the Lower Plains, Ohio Valley, and the Northeast. It also looks like a stretched-out system, where low pressure may develop along the southern chain of this system.
If this happens, the severe weather threat for the middle of the CONUS may become apparent some time midweek next week. That brings us to the end of February where we will watch and see what’s next in terms of cold weather and snow. It remains too early to talk about any hypothetical snow, but I remain almost-certain at this point that the Northeast still has a very cold blast or two left in winter’s lungs.
Here is your local NYC Metro Forecast –

We have a nice but chilly day today, with highs in the 35-40 range for most of the area. Clouds increase tomorrow ahead of our next system, with rain creeping in by late in the day/overnight. Highs in the low to mid 40’s.
