But first, the weekend system is trending further north now. Most of the area will miss out on the bulk of the precip for this Saturday night into Sunday. A
plain light rain is now the most likely outcome early Sunday, with a quick shot of light rain in the afternoon. The rest of the weekend looks dry. Conditions at game time Sunday night look to be warmer than the last update.
Some light snow is possible on Monday. Areas to the south and east of NYC and Long island stand the best shot of an accumulation snowfall. In fact, areas that got more than 2 inches of snow this past Wednesday stand the best chance of seeing similar or locally higher amounts.

Thereafter, two potent storm systems will need to be closely monitored over the next seven to ten days. The first system is likely to make its closest approach on Wednesday into Thursday. A significant winter storm is possible, with a variety of precipitation types involved. The brunt of the storm would occur Wednesday before clearing. A change to plain rain or a
mixed bag of precip is likely to transpire at the coast and in NYC, as only a shallow dome of cold air will be in place ahead of the oncoming storm.

Thereafter, another system will emerge out of the Gulf of Mexico for late next week, and make its closest approach by next Saturday. This time, a more substantial cold air mass will be in place which will either deflect the storm to our south and east, or aid in the development of a major snowstorm for the region. The track of the storm will determine how much, if any, impact there is to the area.
