NYC Forecast Unfolds As Expected Major Issues Interior Northeast
Good morning everyone. Showery conditions are slowly moving into the area, eventually setting up the Northeast for a wide-ranging system impacted a large swath of the Nation. Colder air moves in, complicating the forecast for many spots, and even the NYC area will get into the action although not as severe as interior spots.
SATELLITE
Dense fog and clouds are here already, with the fog breaking up once the showers move in. It’ll be a showery day overall with on and off rain, highs will be near 40. Temps actually rise overnight ahead of our cold front, then we watch tomorrow for the big drop.
Look for an AM cold rain, then mixing with sleet and freezing rain some time between 10am and 2 pm. By the time the cold air reaches us, the majority of the energy is well to our northeast, so we aren’t expecting a major accumulation of ice compared to areas up north. However, it doesn’t take much to cause a problem, and I feel extreme northern spots in the City could have moderate issues. Northern Manhattan, the Bronx, and maybe even the northern fringe of Staten Island, could see some complications compared to the rest of the City and Long Island.
Either way and we’ve been stressing this over and over, a flash freeze is expected overnight, causing extremely dangerous conditions everywhere. Anything rain that fell and any snow that melted, will be part of a hard freeze as we dip into the teens overnight. Traveling in the late evening Friday into Saturday morning will be treacherous in spots.
WEATHER RADAR
Saturday remains looking sunny and cold with highs in the upper 20’s. We’ll modify into the mid 30’s Sunday, then near 40 on Monday.
