Snowfall Development and Timing

  • ❄️ Snow is on the way to the Tri-State region, with clouds thickening and snow expected to begin within the next 2-3 hours.
  • 🌡️ The current temperature of 27°F means the snow will stick to the roads immediately, with no initial slush.
  • 💨 Dry air is currently causing snow to evaporate before reaching the ground, but radar indicates the atmosphere is moistening up.

Snowfall Intensity and Accumulation

  • 🌨️ The storm is expected to bring heavy snow at times through the evening hours, with accumulations ranging from 5 to 9 inches.
  • 📈 Underneath the heaviest bands, accumulations of up to a foot of snow are possible, with snowfall rates of 1-2 inches per hour.
  • ⚠️ Travel will be very difficult due to the heavy snow and potential for intense snowfall rates.

Storm Warnings and Precipitation Types

  • 🚨 A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for most of the pink-shaded areas, indicating significant snowfall.
  • 🧊 Off to the south, a Winter Weather Advisory is in place, where ice, sleet, and freezing rain will limit snow accumulations.
  • 🌊 The 32°F line runs along the south shore of Long Island, Staten Island, and Central Jersey, where the snow may be wetter and heavier.

Future Forecast

  • 📅 The snowy conditions are expected to continue into Saturday, with another storm bringing rain on Sunday into Monday.
  • 📢 Updates will be provided as the situation develops.
