NYC Snow Forecast Holds Overnight
Good morning everyone. Our next system is knocking on our door, but things remain unimpressive for the NYC/Long Island area. There’s a lot that has to happen in order to get our rain to change to snow, and then the same factor that MIGHT change us to snow, may also change us back to rain (if there’s a changeover at all).
SATELLITE
Clouds have already arrived today and a cold rain should begin later this afternoon or evening. If we can’t enough convection going, NYC and parts of Long Island could see a changeover to mix or wet snow. Since yesterday and as of now, I think the NWS maps are overdoing it snow-wise and that would be a worst-case (best case if you like snow) scenario.
Any mix or wet snow overnight should change back to rain with the lack of heavier precip tomorrow, then coming to an end. Expect little to no accumulation for the NYC/ LI area. N&W of NYC is a different story, where many spots will see a 1-3/2-4″ type snowfall depending on your elevation. Areas well upstate could see a 4-6″+ type snowfall out of this.
As far as maxing out on the potential of this system, string convection and proper cooling would give NYC a 1 to 2″ type snowfall, a dusting to an inch in Nassau & NW Suffolk, and mostly nothing for the rest of Long Island.
WEATHER RADAR
We clear out later tomorrow with highs on the low 40’s, then we’ll have early sunshine Sunday with low to mid 40’s.
Our next system rolls in for Mon/Tue and this system will rhyme with today’s one. Expect a cold rain out of this, with maybe a brief transition to a mix or wet snow. While parts of New England might see some decent snow out of our next system, I think this remains a non-story for NYC (again).
