NYC WINTER STORM POSSIBILITY REGAINS FOOTING
Good morning everyone. Mixed precip is on its way for the overnight hours in the NYC area. However, the real story will be the colder air heading towards our area over the course of the next several days; and what may be lurking to help bring that colder air in.
Clouds will quickly spread back into the area today as yet another system is on our way. Winds will calm down compared to yesterday, but it'll be a cold one with highs in the low to mid 30's.
Mixed precip will move in sometime between 11pm and 1am, but quickly turn to rain as temps rise. The only headache this system will create, is for interior parts of NY, NJ, and NE PA as cold air hangs on just long enough to make the morning commute slippery.
Rain ends between late morning and early afternoon tomorrow, but the clouds will linger as we have to get past one more small piece of energy overnight tomorrow; highs in the 45-50 range.
We'll have some scattered showers overnight tomorrow, representing some colder air moving in, but that cold air will be delayed while we transition Wednesday. Expect clouds and sun, highs in the mid to upper 40's Wednesday, but dropping later on as the winds begin to blow hard.
Thursday is looking windy and colder, highs in the low to mid 30's, then we drop into the upper 20's to low 30's Friday as our next potential system begins to possibly get it's act together. Lows Friday night will be very cold, with mid teens in spots possible away from NYC proper and upper teens to low 20's likely here.
On Saturday, a reinforcing shot of colder air will be swooping down from the Great Lakes, while an area of moisture heads through the southeast. A couple of days ago, I discussed several scenarios as to what could happen; (or what could not happen) but yesterday the models walked back the prospects of anything major happening.
I wanted to wait and see what the models did AFTER tonight/tomorrow's system, but the prospect popped up again, so we must pay attention. As of now, it is wayyyy too early to talk about path, exact timing, precip type. It is also possible that this system fades back into obscurity, but keep in mind that possibility still remains we could get a winter storm in our area as that much colder air begins to move in for a visit.
Stay tuned as we take it day by day to see who this will play out. Regardless of what happens, much colder air will be visiting and how long that lasts remains in question. We could see several brief shots of very cold air, mixed in with average to slightly above average temps.
Please note that with regards to any tropical storms or hurricanes, should a storm be threatening, please consult your local National Weather Service office or your local government officials about what action you should be taking to protect life and property.
