Valentine’s Day will be mild in the New York City area, but snow may be on the way to end the weekend.
However, there still remains a high level of uncertainty in terms of how much snow will actually fall.
Above-average temperatures return
Some light snow will moved into the area overnight Friday into Saturday. Not much was expected to accumulate though, with a general coating to 1 inch in most locations. The higher elevations of the Catskills had slightly higher totals.
Once that snow cleared out on Saturday morning, a rather nice Valentine’s Day started shaping up. With a blend of clouds and sun, highs will climb into the mid and upper 40s, making it the first time temperatures go above average since Jan. 22.
Snow likely late Sunday
Snow is now looking more likely for late Sunday into early Monday.
Forecast models, most noticibly the GRAF, have been all over the place with snowfall totals. It has since come down, but the GRAF was suggesting a 2-foot snowfall earlier Friday.
Some mixing with rain is possible initially, as highs on Sunday will be at or above 40 degrees…
