Confidence is increasing that the NYC Area will be impacted by a coastal storm, which is forecast to develop off the Mid-Atlantic coast early next week. Uncertainty still exists regarding the exact details of the systems evolution and resulting impacts, but a significant winter storm is a distinct possibility.
A piece of the tropospheric polar vortex will pass through New England on Friday, making a close approach to NYC as it does so. The result will be brutal cold (apparent temperatures below zero), blustery winds and the potential for snow showers. This will be easily the coldest air that our area has experienced so far this winter season.
Winter weather is expected in the NYC Area from Tuesday through Wednesday, with light snowfall accumulations likely. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for most of Northern NJ, the NYC Metro and surrounding suburbs until 6:00am on Wednesday.
