Potential for High Winds and Accumulating Snow Saturday Night into Sunday...and a Shot of Dangerous Cold to follow Sunday Night into Monday Morning
From the National Weather Service......
Prepare
for accumulating snowfall Saturday afternoon through Sunday morning along with
developing high winds. In its wake...a shot of dangerously cold air Sunday
Night into Monday Morning.
For
Saturday through Sunday, a low pressure system will approach the region and
then rapidly intensify as it moves just south of the region Saturday evening
then east of New England Saturday Night into Sunday. Accumulating snow is
expected Saturday afternoon through early Sunday. Strong to damaging winds may
develop late Saturday Night and continue into Sunday. This will be followed by
dangerously cold wind chills Sunday Night through Monday Morning.
Our
most likely snowfall forecast for Saturday afternoon through Sunday morning is
a general 2 to 4 inches across metro NJ/NYC...3-6 inch snowfall across the
Lower Hudson Valley...Southwestern Connecticut...and Western Long Island...and
4 to 8 inches across Southeast CT and Eastern Long Island. The track of low
pressure and evolution of heavy snow banding will determine if areas see snow
accumulations near the lower or higher end of those ranges. In addition...the
strong winds combined with the snow and dropping temperatures will result in
considerable blowing snow late Saturday Night into Sunday Morning.
