NYC Initial Forecast Holds
Good morning early morning everyone. For those watching models and shopping for the most amount of snow, you’ll be disappointed to hear that nothing much has changed in my book. Details below.
SATELLITE
Very cold air remains in the area for today and I think that hurts us a little bit, especially to our west, with very dense, dry air locked in the Northeast. We’ll have sunshine today with highs in the upper 20’s to near 30.
WEATHER RADAR
Even with slightly warmer temps Friday, high pressure building back in gives our Nor’easter very little wiggle room to go more west. Yes, it can happen, but the question is how much. There’s definitely more wiggle room to go east than west, but it doesn’t mean that’ll happen either.
What I do see happening is that there will be a sharp cutoff setting up near or west of the City, and my gut still tells me SE New England and Maine see the biggest numbers out of this.
What I can tell you is this, we will see some snow. I’m keeping with the very narrow and tight gradient of a 2-4/3-6/4-8” snowfall from west to east, with central and eastern Long Island, along with the Jersey shore, possibly getting into the 8-12”+ spectrum IF the low jogs west a bit.
While this is not a complete loss for snow lovers, barring any miracles, a snowmageddon is unlikely for our area.
We’ll go over timelines in the late afternoon hours. Stay tuned.
Sunshine returns on Sunday, with breezy conditions and highs in the mid to upper 20’s. Cold air looks to stick around early next week, but we have a chance to see some 40’s, possibly near 50 temps mid to late week ahead of our next system
