Strong Winds Today and Tonight...Gusts to 60 mph in NYC Metro Area
A very strong storm over the Canadian maritimes is really whipping up the winds today and tonight in the Northeast. The winds this afternoon were gusting to 60 mph in White Plains, NY; Bayville, Long Island and at JFK Airport. The wind gusted to 51 mph in Newark and 46 mph in Central Park. There were several reports of wind damage and falling trees and power lines with scattered power outages. The temperature was 71 yesterday in Central Park and now readings are in the lower 20s with winds gusting to over 40 mph. An amazing change in the last 24 hours. The winds will subside on Sunday but a storm will spread snow across the NYC metro area Sunday night and Monday morning, President's Day.

Cold with an Active Storm Track for the Next 7-10 Days
The GFS this afternoon continues the active storm track in the East as well as the Midwest. A coastal storm may spread snow, sleet and rain to the NYC metro area Friday night and Saturday. Another storm might spread snow with a shot of cold air around the middle of next week. I notice a more Pacific influence around February 10th trough the 14th with storms taking a more northern track across southern Canada with some moderation in temperature across the lower 48 states but no big warm-up or unseasonable temperatures in sight.
