Synopsis
Winds will be strong for the first half of today as intense low pressure over Eastern Canada and high pressure to the West result in a tight pressure gradient. It’ll be partly sunny and chilly. Winds will diminish some later in the day.
Weak low pressure will pass our region to the South Friday night and Saturday morning. The potential is there for light snow for much of the area. The snow should start within a couple hours either side of midnight and taper off soon after sunrise. It will be a quick hitter. The potential is there for a coating to 2″ in the immediate NYC vicinity. Lighter amounts to the North. Areas to the South of the City will be in the jackpot zone with amounts nearing 4″ in spots. Once the low moves out to sea sunshine is expected later Saturday morning and afternoon.
Sunday will be bright and cold. Below seasonable average temperatures by five to seven degrees can be expected. The average high is in the lower 40s.
A sunny, seasonable Presidents’ Day is on the way- great skiing weather!
Tuesday will feature more of the same as high pressure influences our conditions.
Stay tuned.
