Synopsis:
Snow will develop between 8pm-midnight and continue into early Sunday morning. Upper level energy and a weak wave of low pressure moving through the region is responsible for the white stuff. Accumulating snow is likely for much of the region. A general 3″-5″. Northern areas will receive lighter amounts while the urban corridor and areas to the South and East through Long Island will be the jackpot zone with some 6″ totals. The “last call” map is above.
The 2nd big story will be the bitter cold on Sunday. Temperatures will actually fall during the day into the 20s. The wind will add to the misery with gusts up to 40mph. Wind chills will be in the teens during the afternoon. We’ll be in the freezer on Monday as the Arctic air remains over the Northeast. Tuesday will be bright but cold with high pressure overhead. We’ll come out of the freezer by midweek. In fact, by Thursday we’ll be flirting with 50º as high pressure moves off the Southeast coast.
Stay tuned.
