I hope that everyone has been enjoying the beautiful weather the last week. I know I’ve been slacking on the updates, but
we’ve been in such a nice weather pattern I didn’t think it was necessary. However, I now return with some potentially bad news. The weather pattern appears to be shifting, and in a potentially negative direction for those enjoying the weather we have been having.
First the near term:
Thursday and Friday, will feature some periods of light rain and then clearing (Early morning hours and mid-day Thursday, Mid-day Friday). Temperatures will be in the upper 40’s and 50’s. The weekend will feature temperatures in the upper 30’s and low 40’s with clear skies.
The “Event”:
Now for the bad news that I alluded to earlier: Models are beginning to show a moderate to strong storm off the east coast late Sunday night into Monday. While we are still about 5 days out from the arrival of the storm in the region, many models are beginning to show a snowstorm for the Northeast. If the GFS and EURO are to be believed, snow will start very late Sunday night and continue into Monday morning. While we are a long way out for totals, many models are showing at least 4″ of snow, with some showing more the further east you get on the island. At this point, we are a few models trends away from 6″+ on Long Island and in the City. With it being mid-March, it is far too early to say that this is a lock. But at this point in time this storm bears close watching.
