NYC Forecast Holds Thursday First Nor’easter Possible
Good evening everyone. We’re watching all of our ingredients and pattern change come together for some light to moderate snow tomorrow in interior parts of the Northeast; then a better chance of a more significant storm for Thursday/Friday. We’ll go into the details below, but for now, it doesn’t look like an all-snow event for late in the week unless we see some big changes.
SATELLITE
For the rest of the evening, clouds have rolled in and things will be chilly overnight. Look for lows in the low to mid 30’s, and clouds will lower and thicken as we get towards daybreak.
We’ll get into the low 40 range tomorrow as precipitation heads our way, and this looks like an all-rain/mostly rain event for NYC and Long Island. For inland parts, we could see a 1-3/2-4/3-6″ type snowfall, with the highest amounts concentrated in the Poconos where some lift may enhance things a bit.
For NYC and Long Island, we could see a brief parting mix of brief period of wet snow before things come to an end early Monday morning. The best chance to see the possibility of a cheap thrill, will be the Bronx, Staten Island, Manhattan, parts of Queens, and the north shore of Nassau and Suffolk. We’ll have to watch the radar closely as things depart, to see if any heavier echos allows precipitative cooling, resulting in this brief snow or mix.
Sunshine returns Monday and highs remain in the low 40 range.
WEATHER RADAR
Low 40’s continue for Tuesday and Wednesday for quiet and seasonably chilly days, then clouds will be on the increase again Wednesday night as a more significant storm from the west coast, chugs eastward. As of now, we are looking at low pressure heading into the Ohio Valley/Great Lakes, then some redevelopment at or just inland from the coast to our southwest.
For the moment, this looks like a brief snow to prolonged windswept rain event for NYC/LI, and a decently-sized Nor’Easter-like system. We’ll keep an eye on it all and watch for any changes. We have a long way to go on this and it could go either way at this point.
