MORE DANGEROUS COLD AND TREACHEROUS TRAVEL LOOMS FOR MUCH OF FEBRUARY

1. No changes from previous idea on upcoming storm (see previous video discussion). In the pink area on the map below, ice accretion will be the biggest headache from Sunday night through Monday evening near the coast (1-3" of snow there) with 3" of snow or greater confined to north and west of NYC. Very slick road conditions likely during this time frame, albeit with a fairly light amount of precipitation (heaviest precip stays well north of the area).

2. After the storm exits,  skies clear out, but temps remain cold in the low to mid 30s for Tuesday and again Wednesday. 

3. A coastal storm will develop off the Mid-Atlantic states on Thursday and needs to be watched; right now, it looks like a near-miss.

4. Aforementioned storm will deliver a severely cold air mass for Thursday night into Friday, with slow moderation Saturday (but only into the 20s for highs).  Dangerous wind-chill values on Friday will generally be around -10 to -20 Fahrenheit.

5. Another vicious Arctic blast is likely for Sunday into Monday, with a renewed threat early next week of significant snows for part or all of the region. 

Update to follow Tuesday.
