Synopsis:
High pressure will continue to nose in from Canada resulting in sun and clouds and seasonal readings both today and tomorrow.
Another storm threat is on the way-Wednesday will be the day of concern. A weak low over the upper Ohio Valley will dissipate as a secondary storm develops over coastal North Carolina Tuesday night. This storm will intensify at a good clip and move up the coast on Wednesday. The latest computer models are split in their solution. One set of models take the storm on a track farther offshore meaning a light amount of snow will fall. The other set take the storm just miles off the coast and give the area a heavy snowfall. At this time, the upper level of the atmosphere look to form a more robust low this in turn would keep the low just offshore and heavier precipitation over the area. The potential is there for heavy snow. This is not etched in stone. A Winter Storm Watch is up for most of the tri-state area for Wednesday. Rain or a mix is possible at or close to the coast and to the South. These details will be ironed out as we get closer to the event and for this reason a Watch has not been posted for parts of Central and Southern NJ.
This will not as potent as the last Nor’easter with wind and coastal flooding but snow may fall in a larger area. The first call possible snow amounts are above. This amounts will change as we get closer to the event and are no way etched in stone.
The snow will start before the AM commute on Wednesday and end Wednesday night.
Tranquil conditions are expected for the end of the workweek.
March has roared in and the latest extended computer guidance suggests another storm threat is on the map for Sunday and next Monday.
Stay tuned.
