Strong Winds in the Northeast...

A strong low pressure system intensified as it moved south and east of Cape Cod. This storm dumped heavy rains across eastern Long Island, Connecticut and coastal New England. A Wind Advisory was in effect for NYC, coastal Connecticut and Long Island for Friday afternoon through Saturday morning. The strong northwest winds behind the storm are pulling down colder air from Canada and the rain has changed to snow across upstate NY and interior New England. Lake effect snows on the leeward sides of the Great Lakes are also occurring in upstate New York. Partly sunny, breezy and seasonably cool weather will be with us this weekend here in the NYC metropolitan area with less wind and more sunshine on Sunday.

Several locales have experienced freezing or near freezing temperatures so far this season in the tri-state area but this will be the first for metropolitan areas. The cold snap will be brief with temperatures warming into the 60s this Sunday.
