NY Weather Update – Mar 19, 2018

It sounds like a broken record at this point, but another week, yet another nor’easter with a chance of snow, arriving on the second day of spring no less! As with previous storms, how much snow we get will hinge critically on the storm’s track and proximity to shore. Looking ahead past the storm, temperatures remain subdued and below normal for this time of year.

Rest of today – sunny, high temperatures in the low-40s.

Tuesday – increasing clouds, with a chance for rain snow mix later in the day. High temperatures in the upper-30s.

Wednesday – snow developing overnight and continuing through the day. Accumulating snow currently forecast to be light in the 1-3″ range. This could increase though, based on current forecast ensemble totals ranging 5-6″. The caveat is that blacktop will probably be largely snow free due to the high sun angle.

Thursday – conditions improving overnight and mostly sunny skies with highs in the mid-40s. Snow should melt quickly with the high sun angle and temperatures.
