NYC Metro Snow Lovers Dreams Not Dead Yet
Good morning everyone. Our next system is on its way, and in typical fashion, we are in the “warm” sector on this one. We’ll start off with a weak warm front today, followed by a trailing cold front on Thursday. In between, we have a pretty nice day tomorrow with sunshine and mild temps. In the long range though, we are looking at signs that point to colder air and colder system tracks. That may not necessarily equate to snow for NYC, but at a minimum, we will at least have a few opportunities depending on system tracks during this shift: compared to having absolutely no opportunities at all in the short and medium range.
SATELLITE
Look for cloudy skies and the slight chance of scattered light showers as our weak warm front passes by. Look for highs in the mid 40’s for a damp and cool day.
Sunshine returns tomorrow and steady westerlies will develop. We’ll be in the mild sector of our next system with a cold front off to our west, and that’ll help get us into the 50-55 range tomorrow.
WEATHER RADAR
We’ll have a rainy and breezy day on Thursday with temps in the mid 40’s, then sunshine returns again on Friday as cold air lags behind this system. The sunshine will help keep us in the mid to upper 40’s, but it’ll be a breezy one.
Our weekend turns cooler, with sunshine on Saturday and upper 30’s to low 40’s for a near-average day. We’ll have increasing clouds on Sunday ahead of our next system, with low to mid 40’s for highs.
Again, in the long-range we see a colder pattern developing with deeper-diving systems originating from the Northwest instead of a direct hit on the West Coast. This will be the closest opportunity we’ve had all season to see anything snow-wise, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to play out the way snow lovers want. We’ll watch to see what it means for us when this shift occurs.
