COASTAL STORM LOOKING MORE LIKELY FOR FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT



The potential has markedly increased over the last few days for a significant storm affecting the region late Thursday night into most of Friday. The details still are in question, but a “toss-up” storm, as opposed to an all-out snowstorm, is the most likely outcome at this stage.
 
A general theme of snow, to rain, back to snow seems the way to envision this right now, with the wild card being if a significant accumulation can take place on the back end of the storm for NYC and the coast (similar storms in the past five years have done this).

Areas a bit north and west of the coast stand the best chance of seeing snowfall amounts over six inches; for them, the precip should be able to stay more frozen, but even they will experience mixed precipitation at some point, holding down accumulations a bit.
 
The weekend looks dry, with the next chance of precip (mainly rain) coming Monday. 
 
More to come
