Storm Update NYC – Feb 10, 2014

NYC, Snow, Storms, Weather Update, , , , ,

 

NYC weather update (noreaster?): Still considerable variation between different forecast models in the resolution of the storm track for this upcoming coastal low. Model spread of about 100 mi during the critical forecast period. This could mean the difference between a large snowfall for all areas of NYC metro, or a rain/snow/sleet mix for the city & coastal areas, and all snow inland.

With this much uncertainty in the mix, it’s still hard to say with any confidence how much snow will accumulate. Operational forecasts from the NWS are mixing in rain at the moment during the day Thurs. More updates to come.

Temps tomorrow & Wed remain chill, below freezing in the upper 20s, with lows in the teens again in NYC and single digits further inland. Clear and sunny conditions for the most part until the storm rolls in.

NYC Weather Update – Feb 9, 2014

NYC, Storms, Weather Update, ,

Snow showers expected this evening and overnight as a disturbance moves across the area from the Ohio valley. Not much moisture associated with this storm system, so snow accumulation, if any, should be light and not exceed 2″. Still enough to make for some slippery roads Mon morning.

Pleasant though cold conditions prevail for the start of the week, with sunny skies Mon-Wed, but hi temps only hovering around 30. Overnight temps will dip into the teens in the city, so windchill will be a factor in the morning.

A low pressure system forming off the Gulf Coast is forecast to impact our area Wed night-Thu. Latest model runs have trended towards a colder temperature profile, and a storm track slightly farther offshore. This leads to higher confidence in an all snow event. With 72-84 hrs before the storm, this track could change, bringing in more of a rain/snow mix to coastal areas. Stay tuned.

NYC Weather for Weekend of Feb 7th

NYC, Storms, Weather Update, ,

NYC weekend weather: A coastal system moves well south of our area, bringing the first chance of light snow to the area late Sat. Another weak system moves in Sun-Mon and could again bring light snow showers from time to time. Nothing too terrible, if there are accumulating snows, it will be less than 3″. Hi temps around 30.

The beginning of next week sees a very cold airmass move in over the area. High pressure from Canada will bring clear skies, combined with snow on the ground, this will lead to chilly temps with lows in the teens in NYC and single digits N & W. Daytime temps will also only top out in the upper 20s.

Next chance for significant weather occurs Wed-Thu timeframe, as forecast models point to a low pressure system forming in the Gulf States, then tracking NE near our area. As is always the case this far out, it’s hard to predict the intensity and whether this will be a snow or rain event.
