MAJOR WINTER STORM HIGHLIGHTS THE WEEKEND WEATHER

1. Much like last year's blizzard on 1/25/15, NYC will be on the fringes. Snow develops in the morning Saturday in the NYC metro area/Long Island and then struggles to creep north during the day. Eventually, snow spreads to all areas of the Tri-State area ( only as far up as areas shaded in blue). Potential for blizzard criteria is high for Long Island and NYC Saturday afternoon and evening when the heaviest snows fall.  Storm departs late Saturday night all areas.

The updated idea is on the left, the older outlook is on the right......





2. Moderate coastal flooding during Saturday evening, with locally major coastal flooding possible on the Jersey shore for the same time period.

3. Quiet for Sunday and most of next week. Cold front crosses mid-week, with light rain (Monday night) and snow showers (Tuesday night).

4. Turning cold for late week next week. Another storm could threaten the eastern seaboard next weekend, but too early for specifics.


5. Significant warmth develops towards the beginning of February.
