First Significant Snowstorm in New York City Metro Area in Over Two Years Expected This Wednesday...

Models continue to agree that low pressure will track out of the Gulf of Mexico northeastward along the coast to a position south and east of Long Island early Thursday morning.  Cold Arctic high pressure will be in place so that the precipitation will fall mostly in the form of snow in the city with rain and sleet mixing in over the Jersey Shore and eastern Long Island.  This storm will be moving quickly but there is the potential for more than 6 inches of snow by early Thursday morning.  Cold, dry air will follow the storm for the latter half of the week. The North Atlantic Oscillation and the Arctic Oscillation are both in the negative phase, which often means colder weather and the potential for snow in the Northeast. We are in the La Nina or cool phase of El Nino this winter.
