Synopsis:
A warm from will head our way today. Clouds will thicken and a mix of snow, sleet and rain is possible during the afternoon. It’s all about location. Start time between 1pm-4pm. A coating to a couple of inches of snow is possible Saturday evening over the NYC vicinity- more to the North and no accumulation to the South. The jackpot area will be North of the City. The snow/mix will turn to rain along the coast during the evening as the warm front nears. Sleet or freezing rain is possible North and West for a time before the changeover to rain late. Here an icing situation is quite possible.
On and off rain is likely Sunday as the low moves into the Northeast. Rain could be heavy at times. It’ll be milder on Sunday with readings reaching the mid and upper 40s to lower to mid 50s to the South. Winds will increase out of the South and then West during the afternoon. A High Wind Watch is up for the entire area for later Sunday afternoon into Monday. Gusts between 50mph and 60mph are possible.
Much colder conditions are expected for Presidents’ Day through midweek as a dominant Northwest flow from Canada takes hold. At least the sun will be shining.
Many of the computer models have low pressure somewhere along or off the East coast on Thursday 2/20. The track, like always, is critical. The potential is there significant snow IF the storm takes the classic track off our shoreline. There are several days to watch how this evolves.
Stay tuned.
