Synopsis:
Cold high pressure will move from the Midwest to the East coast through today. It’ll be colder today with a gusty wind adding a bit.
A warm from will head our way on Saturday. Clouds will thicken and a mix of snow, sleet and rain is possible during the afternoon. 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 will turn to rain along the coast early Saturday night 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. It’ll be milder on Sunday with readings reaching the mid and upper 40s.
Much colder conditions are expected for Presidents’ Day and Tuesday 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 is anybody’s guess right now. The potential is there for some snow. Please don’t get dragged into the hype. There are several days to watch how this evolves.
Stay tuned.
Keep it here for a no nonsense, no hype forecast..
