NYC Snow Begins Late Tonight – Final Call
Good morning everyone. We’re at the cusp of our first true winter system heading into the NYC Metro Area, and things are not as clear-cut as previously thought due to timing of our system. During the workweek, I said there is the potential for an “upside surprise”, and that seems to be the trend here. However, due to precip starting today rather than late overnight, we’ll see some rain and mixing before turning to all snow overnight. That’ll also complicate things in terms of a layer of ice possible underneath the accumulated snow due to a fast drop in temps.
SATELLITE
Clouds are here already, and we’ll see some spotty light rain this afternoon and evening. Look for rain mixing with snow later in the evening, then changing to all snow some time between 10pm and 1am. Lows in the mid to upper 20’s will assure us that the snow will stick. Again, we could see some black ice underneath our layer of snow.
WEATHER RADAR
Snow continues tomorrow with periods of moderate snow possible, ending between 8 and 12am from NW to SE. Highs will be near 30 at best, then we drop again as reinforcing arctic air pushes in. As stated a couple of days ago, we’re looking at a general 1-3/2-4″ type snowfall over a wide swath. However, along eastern parts of Long Island and central/south New Jersey, we could see 3-6″ with possibly some higher amounts; especially if late development occurs before our wave of energy pulls away.
Anything that falls sticks around for Monday with highs in the 25-30 range. We should see some relatively quick melting though as temps by Thursday and Friday are 45-50 with some rain possible overnight Thursday.
