Snowstorm Watch
4:30 PM Thursday December 17, 2009
...This is not an official National Weather Service product and should not
be confused for an official watch, warning or advisory...
In New Jersey: Burlington, Ocean, Monmouth, Mercer, Middlesex, Somerset,
Morris, Hunterdon, Warren, Sussex, Passaic, Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Union
In New York: Manhattan, Bronx, Queens, Kings, Richmond, Nassau,
Suffolk, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Westchester
In Connecticut: Fairfield, Litchfield, New Haven
...Snowstorm Watch in effect for 500pm Saturday through 800 pm Sunday...
A strong low pressure system will develop out of the Gulf of Mexico and
develop up the eastern coast Friday and Saturday. High pressure will aid
in filtering down cold air as the storm system heads up the coast. There is
considerable uncertainty regarding how far west the system tracks, but
model guidance has begun to converge on a track well enough to the west
to provide the region with a significant snowfall.
Within the watch area, heavy snowfall is expected from Saturday
afternoon into mid-Sunday. The amount of snowfall will be determined
by how far west the deepening low pressure area tracks. That said,
it's increasingly likely that areas currently within the watch will
receive significant snowfalls in excess of 6 inches from this storm.
In addition, the strong low pressure and the gradient with the surface
high will create an environment favorable for strong winds, especially
near the coast. Driving could be extremely hazardous if not impossible.
At this time a blizzard watch was not issued due to uncertainties with
the surface track and intensity, but an upgrade to a blizzard warning
still remains possible.
Storm total snowfall should be on the order of 4-8 inches north and west,
with higher amounts near 8-14 inches east.
There is still significant uncertainty with this system. Please stay tuned for
more updates and safety information.
...A Snowstorm Watch means there is the potential for significant snow,
sleet, or ice accumulations that may impact travel. Continue to monitor the
latest forecasts...
