Dreary and drizzly conditions are expected to continue today, as the atmosphere remains moist and period lift moves through the area – both necessary ingredients for light precipitation. The majority of heavy precipitation will remain to our north, over New England.
Similar to most storms this winter season, the threat for winter weather in the NYC Metro Area will be quite low. Most cold air will remain to our north in New England, where light winter weather impacts are more likely.
After the rain and drizzle move through our region today, colder air is expected to temporarily surge into the Northeast. High temperatures from Wednesday through Friday will be near or slightly below seasonal averages for the date, which after several days of above normal temperatures will certainly feel chilly.
The longer range pattern looks to remain active, with volatile weather expected. A few storm systems are likely to eject from the Rockies in 5-7 days, moving eastward into the Great Lakes and New England. Winter weather potential will remain quite low, but unsettled/rainy weather will likely return during this time.
The year without a winter in NYC looks likely to continue, and at this juncture there are very few signs supporting additional snowfall of any significance.
