A significant snow and ice storm will commence this
afternoon and a significant snowstorm will commence tomorrow night…
The snow will develop today between about 1 pm and 4 pm from
west to east across our area. The snow should rather rapidly change to sleet by
around 6 pm as a warm layer of air will move in above the clouds, melting the
snowflakes and causing significant sleet to fall this evening. There should be
a dusting to up to 2 inches of snow accumulation prior to the change to sleet. As
temperatures continue to warm the sleet will change to freezing rain between
about midnight and 5 am from south to north across our area. There could be up
to a quarter inch of ice accumulation prior to the changeover to light rain. Light
rain and drizzle will then continue through the day, changing back to snow
between 7 pm and midnight as another storm system approaches our area. The snow
will then come to an end on Thursday afternoon between about 3 pm and 7 pm from
northwest to southeast across our area. I am expecting total accumulations of
4-8 inches throughout the New York City Metropolitan area.
The storm approaching for tomorrow night is the same one
that produced a massive hail storm that accumulated on the beaches in Southern
California yesterday. Click here to view the amazing pictures. Yes, this is a very dynamic system.
After this storm passes we will have a chance of slight
chance of a snow shower on Saturday night, a slight chance of snow on Monday,
then next week looks nice and a bit warmer.
The next chance of rain or snow would then be the following
Sunday and Monday.
