AM Coastal Snow, Especially Long Island. Sun & Clouds. Sct’d Snow Showers…

Synopsis:

A storm well off the Mid-Atlantic coast this morning will cause snow to fall through mid-morning for parts of the coast and especially Long Island. Parts of Central & Eastern Long Island may see anywhere from a coating to 4″ in spots. This band of steady snow will move offshore by mid to late morning.

A dynamic jet stream will move into the this afternoon.  Snow showers are in the forecast, not from the offshore low, but  a trough of low pressure extending to the West of the departing storm. There will be a mix of sun and clouds. The scattered snow showers are likely later in the day.

Tranquil conditions are expected Wednesday as high pressure moves overhead.

Another front with a weak developing area of low pressure will move to the Eastern Seaboard. Rain and snow will likely develop Thursday night and then end as a possible period of snow Friday Morning. Many days to watch how this unfolds, but at this time it doesn’t look significant.

Much colder times are ahead this weekend. An area of moisture over the Southeast with an area of low pressure looks to slide just to our South later Super Bowl Sunday and Monday.

Stay tuned.
