GROWING POTENTIAL FOR A MAJOR SNOWSTORM EARLY NEXT WEEK
ALL-TIME SEASONAL SNOWFALL RECORD IN CENTRAL PARK IN JEOPARDY OF BEING TIED OR BROKEN
The overall pattern next week will feature a potent winter storm, followed by very cold weather through next week.
A volatile set up will spawn a major, coast-to-coast storm early next week.
This storm has the potential to dump more than 6 inches of new snow on our region, especially from Monday into Monday night.
It should be noted that, as of right now, the numerical guidance has been in very good agreement on this particular storm; in contrast, throughout this season, storm details on the various weather models (track, intensity and precip type) were very elusive in the run-up to other notable snow events, but got more in tune within 48-72 hours of the first effects on our region.

While light snows may develop on Sunday evening, the bulk of the snow will occur from the storm Monday into Monday night before ending. The ultimate track of the storm will determine if ice and rain mix in at the coast, but right now, this appears to be a low probability at this time.

Regardless of the impact to our region, the storm will take a SEVERE toll on airport travel across the country.
More later.

COLD, NOT SNOW THE MAIN STORY THIS WEEK
A shot of snow is still in the cards for tomorrow night into Wednesday morning, but amounts will only range from a dusting to an inch at most. A southern storm will only brush the region during this time frame.
The main story this week will be the cold: It now appears that Thursday night into Friday, as well as Saturday night into Sunday will be the coldest parts of the week.
Teens and single digit readings are likely during this period (at night), with highs Friday and Sunday staying in the low-to-mid 20s.
Storm chances will only gradually increase through the period from now through late this week. On Saturday, a shot of light snow is possible. After this, a more potent storm will come close on Monday. The stormy pattern that develops late week should last into at least March 15th.
With plenty of cold air to tap, we can expect the threats of disruptive wintry weather to linger well into the month.
