Synopsis:
Happy Hanukkah!
Spring-like conditions will continue today as offshore high pressure continues to pump warm air into the region. Highs will approach 60º under a mix of sun and clouds. The average high is 45º.
Clouds will increase late tonight as a cold front moves through.
On Monday, a wave of low pressure will develop on an offshore front. A period of rain is likely for areas South and East of the City with a threat of wet snow or a mix from the City and to the North and West. A light accumulation is possible North and West by late day (map above).
Tuesday will be the calm in between systems. Abundant sunshine is expected as Canadian high pressure influences the region. It will be cold.
All of the computer models are in general agreement that a storm will affect the region for Wednesday afternoon into Thursday morning. It is quite rare for all of the models this far out to basically have the same output. For this reason the potential continues to increase that a significant snowfall will occur for most of the tri-state area. A mix is also possible at the coast and to the South. It is way too early to call for amounts, just know that if the track remains the same with the models today that a plowable snow and then some will occur. Not etched in stone but the concern is real.
Thursday morning snow will end and the sun will return.
Stay Tuned.
