Weekend Storm Update


As of right now, the best chance of significant snow for this pending weekend storm appears to target New England and possibly Upstate New York Friday and Saturday but the storm's main kick may result from low pressure reforming and intensifying offshore Friday into the weekend.

Sound familiar? As always, the path of the intensifying low is key. The Christmas weekend blizzard was initially thought to track well out to sea but instead it intensified and tracked closer to the coast and we got clobbered!

Cold air will be locked in place, so a path closer to the coast would bring heavier snow. Also, if the storm intensifies quicker, when it is farther south, it may have a more significant impacts outside of New England for us here in New York City.
