...Snowstorm Warning in effect from 4am Thursday through 8am Saturday...

 

A significant coastal storm will move northeast from the Carolinas to the 40/70 Benchmark and then retrograde towards New York City Friday. The low pressure is expected to rapidly deepen to pressures lower than 980mb just south  of the coast of Long Island. 


Forecast guidance has come into good agreement that the area will receive very heavy precipitation amounts as a result of track of this storm system. Considerable uncertainty still exists in regard to the boundary of the heaviest snows and a potential changeover to rain. Snow is expected to begin Thursday and continue overnight into Friday morning across much of the region. The heaviest snow is expected to fall Thursday afternoon into early Friday. The snow is then expected to taper to moderate intensity Friday...and then to light snow by Friday evening. Some light snow could continue into Saturday.

Total snowfall accumulations are currently expected to range from 10 to 18 inches across Northeast New Jersey, Northwest New Jersey, Southeast New York, and Central New Jersey. We expect snow totals near the New York metro area to range from 8 to 14 inches, higher west and lower east and northeast. Generally 10 to 15 inches is expected across our Central New Jersey counties. The total snowfall will taper greatly east of that...towards Eastern Long Island where 2 to 4 inches of snow is forecast. Locally higher amounts are possible in heavier bands of precipitation across Northern New Jersey and Southeast New York. The heavy snow rates and winds may make travel extremely difficult if not impossible at times.

...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...
