NYC Snow Hopes Fade Away
Good late morning everyone. We continue to watch our next system, and while some areas remain consistent as far as expected snowfall, other areas are trending away from any snowfall at all.
Over the course of today and the overnight hours, low pressure will exit the Rockies and dive towards the Texas & Louisiana Gulf Coast. It’ll tap abundant moisture and energy to give coastal sections of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama some heavy showers and thunderstorms late tomorrow into Wednesday morning. As of now, we could see some strong to severe thunderstorms embedded within a large swath of rain, but we don’t see any widespread severe weather risks.
However, the big story will be the heavy snow expected across parts of the Midwest. Overruning moisture into the very cold air, will help develop bands of heavy snow across parts of southeast Kansas, northeast Oklahoma, lower Missouri, upper Arkansas, and into parts of Kentucky & Tennessee. While we’ll most likley see a large blanket of 4-8/6-10″ type snowfall accumulations, we could see 10-14″+ accumulations in higher elevations and where heavier banding develops.
After a snowy time in the Midwest, our focus shifts towards the Mid-Atlantic as low pressure reaches the East Coast and tries to take a ride up. Even though we don’t see the same type of system depected 2-3 days ago, we still have the possibility of locally heavy snows and strong winds across southeast Virginia, extreme northwest North Carolina, and lower parts of Maryland.
As of now, we’re probably looking at a 4-8/6-12″ type snowfall late Wednesday into very early Thursday as a very fast-moving low pressure fails to make a turn up to the Northeast. This will not only shorten the duration of the snow for the Mid-Atlantic, but it’ll also spare the NYC/Long Island area, including most of New Jersey, with either very light snow, or no snow at all.
Here is your local NYC Metro Forecast –
SATELLITE
It’ll be very windy today with winds approaching the 45-50mph mark. Cold temperatures in the low 30’s will help make wind chills feel unbearable. Look for more of the same tomorrow, but we dial back the winds to 30-35mph.
WEATHER RADAR
Morning sun on Wednesday will give way to increasing clouds and highs in the upper 20’s to near 30. We’ll have the chance of some scattered light snow overnight. Look for cloudy skies on Thursday with the chance of some light snow possible, if anything ay all.
Skies clear out and we’ll have a sunny and cold Friday with highs in the mid to upper 30’s.
