Synopsis:.
As an upper low swings toward the coast it will capture a surface storm just East of NJ and redevelop it South of Long Island today. This upper level feature will bring down cold air. Periods of rain will go over to snow at coastal locations this afternoon. Periods of snow will continue elsewhere. The latest computer guidance has shifted the heaviest amounts of precipitation over the NYC area and vicinity. Hence the adjustment in potential amounts. Snow may come down heavy at times in banding with the upper level low supplying the energy along with the surface storm. Areas East of the City will take some time in getting into the snow. But here too, some accumulation is likely. Parts of Eastern Long Island as well as South Coastal NJ will receive only minor accumulations. Potential snow amounts by Monday Midnight are posted above. Nowcasting with radar and banding of the snow will be key in how much snow falls. The snow will taper off tonight from West to East.
Morning snow over Eastern areas will give way to sunshine behind the storm on Tuesday.
More tranquil conditions are expected for the rest of the week. Readings will be below the average high of 48º.
Stay Tuned.
