NYC Northeast Flirts With Arctic Air & Snow
Good morning everyone. We continue to watch the long range closely and the forecast at and around Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend. Things continue to look interesting as far as cold air available, and we’ll also be watching a few systems that could bring some flakes into the Ohio Valley and Northeast.
Does this mean snow for the NYC area? Not necessarily. However, the available unseasonably cold air, combined with a few close calls, could make for an opportunity of some early-season snow if one of those systems times out correctly with a hit of cold air.
All in all and at minimum, we are probably looking at an unseasonably chilly or cold Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday for the NYC Metro Area’ with temperatures ranging from 8-12+ degrees below average depending on the timing and positioning of that cold air.
SATELLITE
We’ll keep the forecast simple today since it’s an easy one. Look for sunshine today through Thursday, with modifying temps compared to yesterday. Look for low 50’s today, low to mid 50’s tomorrow, then near 60 degree temps Thursday for a mild day.
WEATHER RADAR
Clouds increase on Friday with the chance of rain by afternoon. The further east you go, especially into New England, the wind and rain becomes more intense as a wave of low pressure rides up the coast. Highs will range from the upper 50’s to low 60’s. If we see some extra sunshine before the rain, we might see a few mid 60’s.
Rain tapers off by late morning/early afternoon Saturday, with breezy conditions and highs in the mid to upper 50’s. Full sunshine returns by Sunday, with highs in the upper 40’s to low 50’s.
To start your workweek next week, chilly air is over the area for Monday, with sunshine and highs in the mid to upper 40’s. We’ll begin to watch our next system mid-week next week that’ll help usher in a chilly start to Thanksgiving.
