Friday Morning's Weather Discussion

A weak storm system will pass through our area tonight, brining 1-2 inches of snow starting around 10pm and ending around 7am, and then a Nor’easter will start to develop near Cape Hatteras, North Carolina tomorrow.  This storm will bring some snow to Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina, and possibly even as far south as the Florida panhandle.  This storm will then turn north and head up the East Coast, while strengthening into a very powerful Nor’easter.  The big question is how far off shore this storm will track, and that will determine how much snow each individual location receives.  Right now, the best guess is that this storm will cause snow to re-develop on Saturday evening for areas just to the east of New York City, and could bring near blizzard conditions or blizzard conditions to areas from Eastern Long Island through Eastern New England for Saturday night and Sunday.  We need to keep a very close eye on this storm, as it has not even begun to develop yet, and until it does, the track will remain a bit uncertain.  A little wobble in either direction could cause a significant change to this forecast.  Check back for updates. Happy Friday!
