UNSETTLED WEATHER FROM SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

POTENTIAL FOR PROLONGED NOR'EASTER FOR LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY

After dry and cool conditions for Thursday and Friday, warm air will ride up the eastern seaboard Friday night into Saturday; this process, in conjunction with a weak disturbance in the atmosphere will lead to light rain chances increasing from south to north beginning Friday night.  This rainfall will be at its steadiest during much of the day on Saturday before ending Saturday night.  Amounts through this time frame will generally be under an inch. Some of the hilly terrain north of Interstate 78 may start as frozen precip on Friday night.

Thereafter, attention will shift to a developing storm off of the Virginia coast on Sunday; this storm will meander very close to our shoreline (perhaps for several days) as a blocking high pressure prevents it from going out to sea. However, the ultimate track of this storm and the proximity to our coast will determine whether we see a soaking, wind-driven rain for Sunday nigh into Monday. Regardless, the combination of the above factors and the full moon will lead to some coastal flooding issues for early next week at the times of high tide.

MOON PHASE CALENDAR: 

The probability of seeing heavy snowfall for NYC and the coast is low. 

Intellicast Temps:

Beyond Saturday, there is a low degree of predictability for the early week storm; however, some of the more reliable models are showing some significant impacts for early next week.

Another update will be needed Friday night.
