NYC Walks Snow Tightrope Overnight Tonight
Good morning everyone. We have a compact disturbance heading towards our area overnight, but it’ll be guided along the rails of very dry air. Timing and convection will be appropriate as far as seeing some snow out of this, but will the narrow shield of precipitation be able to cross Raritan Bay and NY Harbor? Check out the latest here.
SATELLITE
We start out with some sunshine today, then increasing clouds late. It’ll be a fairly mild one with highs in the near 50/low 50 range. We’ll be watching the radar closely to see if precipitation can edge its way into NYC and Nassau County, but it’s going to be a very close call.
If moisture is able to cross into the area, look for some light rain mixing with, then changing to all snow overnight. The heaviest snow will be confined to NW NJ and NE PA, but it’s not out of the real of possibilities that NYC could see a coating to 2″ in a best case scenario.
In a worst case scenario (for snow lovers), we watch the radar light up, but precip slips just to the southwest of us, making this a snowfall for places such as Perth Amboy and Sandy Hook. This is going to be a very close call and wildly unpredictable until we see what the radar does. Confidence is very low, so let’s just have fun with it and see what happens.
Regardless, anything that does fall is long gone tomorrow with sunshine developing and highs in the mid 40’s.
WEATHER RADAR
Sunshine and a stuff breeze continues for Wednesday and Thursday with highs in the mid to upper 40’s: then increasing clouds late on Friday with more mid to upper 40’s. Those clouds are in association with a larger system, but as of now this is looking to be primarily rain for the NYC/LI area.
