Icy Spots this AM. Periods of Rain. Wet Snow/Rain Inland.

 

Synopsis:

***Use caution this morning North and West of the City as a thin glaze of ice has formed where temperatures are below freezing***A cold front will move toward the area today. A storm will develop on the front.  Rain will develop in the morning.  Wet snow is possible well inland. The system is moving way to fast and it is just too warm at the surface to support accumulating snow along the urban corridor and coast. Inland it should be cold enough for a coating of snow this morning before the changeover to rain. By late evening a few inches of snow is possible over Lower NY State and interior CT.  Possible snow amounts graphic above. Colder weather will move in to end the year.

Today:

Morning wet snow/sleet North and West to the City may leave a coating of ice and snow before changing to rain otherwise, periods of rain elsewhere. A period of wet snow is possible later in the afternoon and evening North of the City which may leave a couple of inches. Highs in the lower 40s falling into the 30s by sunset. Southeast wind becoming Southwest and increasing to 10-20mph by later in the day.

Tonight:

Partly cloudy.  Lows in the mid 30s in the City, the mid 20s inland. West winds at 15-25mph with higher gusts.

Friday:

Partly sunny, windy and colder. Highs in the upper 30s.

Saturday:

Partly sunny. Cold. Highs in the upper 30s.

Sunday (New Year’s Day):

Cooler Sunshine Today. Rain/Wet Snow Thursday…

 

Synopsis:

Spring-like temperatures of Tuesday will be replaced by cooler readings today as high pressure works in.

A more significant cold front will move toward the area by Thursday morning. The computer models develop a storm on the front.  The analyzation of the latest guidance is a yawn for me with snow for our immediate area on Thursday. The system is moving way to fast and it is just too warm at the surface to support accumulating snow along the urban corridor and coast. Inland it should be cold enough for a coating of snow by late evening with a few inches possible over Lower NY State and interior CT.  Possible snow amounts graphic above. Colder weather will move in to end the year.

Today:

Partly sunny with highs in the mid 40s. Northwest wind at 8-12mph.

Tonight:

Partly cloudy.  Lows in the mid 30s in the City, the mid 20s inland. Winds becoming Southeast at 5-10mph.

Thursday:

Rain mixed with wet snow, especially inland. A period of wet snow is possible later in the afternoon and evening North and West. Highs in the lower 40s falling into the 30s by sunset.

Friday:

Partly sunny, windy and colder. Highs in the upper 30s.

Saturday:

Partly sunny. Cold. Highs in the upper 30s.

Sunday (New Year’s Day):

Spotty Showers This AM. Sun Returns, Spring-like…

 

Synopsis:

A moist Southerly flow ahead of a cool front will cause spotty showers this morning. Any showers will end by mid-day. The cold air is lacking behind the front. Temperatures will feel more like Spring as the sun returns.

A more significant cold front will move toward the area by Thursday morning. Some of the computer models want to develop a wave of low pressure close the the region.  The European map above taken verbatim is the most vigorous of the all the models.  Taken verbatim, rain would go over to a period of snow with some accumulations all the way to the coast (not my forecast at this time, but stay tuned). Rain will develop Thursday morning. It should be cold enough for wet snow to be mix in and then a change to snow for a time, especially inland. A coating of snow is possible North and West of the City by late evening.  Colder weather will move in to end the year.

Today:

Spotty showers through mid-day, becoming mostly sunny. Mild. Highs in the mid to upper 50s. Southwest to Northwest wind at 10-15mph with gusts to 25mph in the afternoon.

Tonight:

Mostly clear.  Lows in the mid 30s in the City, the upper 20s inland. Northwest wind at 10-15mph.

Damp Monday. Areas of Drizzle, Rain. Spotty Freezing Rain N/W…

 

Synopsis:

Spotty drizzle and areas of light rain will develop during the morning hours as a warm front moves toward the region. It should be cold enough well North and West for spotty freezing drizzle or light freezing rain (FutureCast radar above). Icy conditions may develop on untreated surfaces. During the afternoon all areas will be above freezing.  A cool front will move through the region on Tuesday morning. Early rain will end by mid morning. The cold air is lacking behind the front. Temperatures on Tuesday will feel more like Spring.

A more significant cold front will move toward the area by Thursday morning. Some of the computer models want to develop a wave of low pressure close the the region. Rain will develop Thursday morning. It maybe cold enough for wet snow to be mix in, especially inland. It doesn’t look a big deal with accumulations, but well inland a minor amount is possible.  Colder weather will move in to end the year.

Today:

Cloudy. Spotty drizzle or light rain. Inland spotty freezing drizzle or light freezing rain is possible. All areas will go over to liquid during the afternoon. Highs in the 40s. Northeast to Southeast wind at 5-10mph.
