Snowstorm Warning
200pm Saturday December 19, 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, Orange, Putnam,
Rockland, Westchester
In Connecticut: Fairfield, Litchfield, New Haven
...Snowstorm Warning in effect for 1200pm Saturday through 300 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. The low pressure
is expected to track off the Mid-Atlantic coast with model guidance coming
into good agreement on rapid deepening off the New Jersey coast south
of Long Island, traversing northeast towards the 40/70 Benchmark.
Within the warning 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 is now extremely like that areas currently within the warning will
receive significant snowfalls in excess of 6 inches from this storm. Northwest
portions of the warning area should generally expect 4-7 inches of snow. Central
and southeast areas of the warning, including NE NJ and NYC Metro should
expect between 8-14 inches of snow. Higher amounts are possible south and east.
In addition, the tremendously strong low pressure and the gradient with the surface
high will create an environment favorable for strong winds, especially near the coast.
Blizzard conditions are possible at times. 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.
There is still significant uncertainty with this system. Please stay tuned for
more updates and safety information.
...A Snowstorm Warning means that significant snow, sleet, or ice accumulations
are expected over the next 36 hours or are imminent. These will significantly impact
travel, which may become extremely difficult if not impossible at times. Continue to
monitor the latest forecasts...
