Synopsis:
High pressure over Canada will nose into the area tonight. This will result in a frigid night under clear skies and almost calm winds. Temperatures will plummet, especially inland where readings will reach the single digits.
The weekend forecast will continue to reminds us that it’s January. Saturday will start off with sun but clouds will roll in during the afternoon. Highs will be near freezing.
The potential for light snow or snow showers remains for Saturday night and Sunday morning. Areas North of the City may not see a flake. The low never becomes strong until it’s way off the coast. The Northern and Southern jet do not phase and are progressive; but what happens is there’s enough energy from both streams to produce some light snow or flurries across the areas on Saturday night and Sunday morning. The light snow shield brushes the NYC vicinity. The airmass will be very dry so how much light snow falls remains to be seen. It maybe just a few snow showers. Areas to the North of the City may not see any snow. Southern NJ will be the jackpot zone for snow. The possible snow amounts are above. The sun will return Sunday.
You know where to find a no hype, no nonsense forecast.
Stay tuned.
