After a long hiatus, we’re back with our first winter update. While we’ve already seen some snow this season, tomorrow marks the first widespread accumulating snowfall that will likely require shoveling. As is often the case, the weather models are still not in full agreement on tomorrow’s snowfall. Some show a mix of rain and snow for Long Island, while others predict all snow across the region. As of now, I’m leaning toward an accumulating snowfall from Western Suffolk County through NYC, with Eastern Suffolk likely experiencing mixed precipitation or all rain.
Precipitation is expected to begin tomorrow afternoon, between 2 and 4 PM, moving from west to east. Long Island may start with a wintry mix that transitions to snow, while the City and areas to the north and west will remain all snow. The precipitation will persist throughout the afternoon and into the evening.
By the time the event ends, areas north and west of NYC could see 6+ inches of snow, while NYC and Nassau County should expect 2-4 inches. Western Suffolk may receive 1-3 inches, and Eastern Suffolk will likely see less than an inch, or possibly no accumulation at all.
I plan to post an update later today or tomorrow with some snow maps.
