NYC Light Snow Possible Monday
Good morning everyone. We have a snowy time along the lake shores of New York and Pennsylvania as cold air and wind move across the relatively warm Great Lakes. Otherwise, we have a windy day today as things gradually turn colder, then below average in the long range.
We’re also watching an important storm system that will form late in the weekend and impact the Midwest, Central States, and Gulf States in a big way. Low pressure will head out of the Rockies via the Pacific Northwest, hooking up with energy from the Gulf of Mexico. The contrast in air masses will be abrupt, and we will see a wide range of weather conditions in regards.
For parts of central and eastern Kansas, into upper Missouri, lower Illinois, and possibly into Indiana, heavy snow will dominate the scene. In a large swath, we will see an area of 1-2ft of snow occurring Sunday through Monday from west to east, and it’ll all fall in a relatively short time. Between the snow and heavy showers & thunderstorms expected, we will be looking at a narrow band of heavy sleet and freezing rain.
