Synopsis:
Thickening clouds are expected tonight. It’ll be frigid, but snow-free.
Snow will fall on Sunday as low pressure to the South collides with a bitter cold high to the North. The snow will start in the early morning and continue throughout the day. The snow will come down heavy at times at the rate of possibly 1″-2″/hour for a few hours Sunday. Significant accumulations are likely. The models have come into better agreement with the position of low pressure. The developing storm will be close enough to the region to allow a warm wedge of air aloft to ride up through the Southern 2/3rds of the region later Sunday. I’m confident that a mix will occur for much of the NYC vicinity and to the South. But before this happens heavy amounts of snow will have fallen. The “3rd call” map is above. Amounts have been lowered a notch because more mixing expected. There could be a period of heavy sleet for parts of the metro area later Sunday and Sunday evening. An inch or two of sleet may fall on top of the several inches of snow. Treacherous to say the least.
The snow/mix will be falling with bitterly cold readings. It’ll be quite dangerous to be outdoors with this combination. Precipitation will taper off between 8pm and midnight.
Scattered snow showers are possible Monday morning. A mix of sun and clouds is expected thereafter. It’ll breezy and very cold.
Another Arctic blast will arrive on Tuesday and be with us through the end of the week. We are having a January that we haven’t seen in years.
Stay tuned.
