Late Week

Looking at two potentials for snow this week. We have a clipper moving in Thursday  / Thursday Night. As of now, this is showing very minor precipitation falling in the area, but nonetheless I will follow it. Once this moves through, we will focus our attention to Friday Night into Saturday.

This storm looks a little more potent, but the storm will have borderline cold temperatures with it across NJ. As of now, models showing the rain snow line would be north central NJ. As the storm moves closer, the rain snow line will move further north and eventually make it to the NW of NYC and north of the coastal regions of CT (up to about Hartford). Areas to the north would be snow, while others to the south may have to hold out hope that enough cold air wraps in to change the rain to snow.

Enough precipitation is going to fall that if it is cold enough, this would be a plowable event. The future model runs will be important to see how this sets up.

More to come
