MARCH OPENS WITH A QUICK WINTER STORM

1. Snow develops late Sunday morning and then transitions to freezing rain and sleet for most areas Sunday afternoon and night before ending.  A general 2-4" will fall, with a glaze of ice; more snow will fall north and west of the city, with areas north and west of I95 receiving a general 3-6" of snow before a change to freezing rain. Monday morning's commute should be slightly impacted, but precip will be long gone by then.

2. Quiet overall through Tuesday, then another storm will move across. With the next storm, the transistion to rain will be quicker, resulting in lesser impacts on roads. Expect a light snow, with a quick change to rain for Tuesday night into Wednesday.  Readings may spike to near 50 before they come back down by Wednesday afternoon/night.

NYC RACES TOWARDS A RECORD COLD FEBRUARY

1. Bitter cold Monday, as the latest in  a series of ferocious shots of Arctic air infiltrates the western states. Highest temps will be in the morning before strong winds and colder temps settle in by midday and throughout the afternoon. Winds relax overnight Monday night/Tuesday, but that allows temps to tumble further (radiational cooling).

2. Dry for Tuesday, but still continued quite cold. A frontal boundary will move through Wednesday early morning with a few light snow showers in some places.

3. Storm system will develop Wednesday night and Thursday along the aforementioned front, but miss the region with its precip.

4. Near-to-below 0 wind-chills will be ushered back into the region for Thursday through Saturday. Coldest night will be Thursday night/Friday (in addition to Monday night) where temps will drop into the single digits. Some signs are there that indicate the extreme cold will start to abate by next week.
