NYC Late Weekend System Remains Unimpressive
Good morning everyone. We have a 3 day block of relatively mild weather ahead, and we continue to watch everything for the possibility of some snow late weekend. Just as it was a few days ago, things continue to look unimpressive. While some snow is possible (and also not possible), we do not foresee a major blizzard here in the NYC area like some other outlets were talking about.
SATELLITE
Look for AM clouds/fog today in spots, PM sun, and mild conditions for this time of year. We’ll have highs near 50.
Near 50 temps continue tomorrow with sunshine, and we’ll carry that into Saturday as well.
WEATHER RADAR
Depending on how long the sunshine lasts, we’ll see mid 50’s, possibly a touch higher; then clouds increase late with our next potential system.
That mild air is ahead of a cold front that’ll take its time moving through the area. The same front will stall near our region, with a wave of low pressure forming to the east of it. Front and low pressure placement will dictate if we get any precip out of this, but we are looking at nothing major here.
I continue to see the chance of some light rain/light snow or light snow with 2 different scenarios possible. The first scenario would be low pressure forming before the front passes, enhancing the front as it passes by. This would give us the “most” snow out of this, with a coating-2/2-4″ type scenario. The second is the front passing by and stalling near or to our east. This would put us on the edge of very light snow or nothing at all.
That’s about it for this system, then we have an uphill battle for snow lovers the next 2 weeks as it’ll be hard to pull off a major snowstorm with the new pattern emerging.
