...Significant snowfall possible across the area Thursday into Friday...
A strong surface low pressure will develop off the Mid-Atlantic coast Thursday. This surface low is then forecast to deepen further and turn northwestward towards or east/northeast of our area. This surface low will bring significant precipitation to the forecast area Thursday, Thursday Night, and Friday. At this time it appears that areas within the Snowstorm Watch will be impacted by significant winter weather conditions, at least for a good portion of this precipitation. The low pressure area will then stall over the forecast area ensuring that some light or moderate precipitation continues through Friday. The precipitation type is dependent on the exact track of the surface low, and computer guidance continues to struggle with the track.
At this time it appears likely that at least 6 inches of snow will fall across much of the snowstorm watch area. Where the heaviest area of precipitation develops will be dictated by the exact track of the low pressure area. Still, confidence is increasing that much of the area will be impacted by this system. The strong low pressure also ensures that high winds will be a concern as well. Presently, snow accumulations of at least 6 inches are forecast across the watch area with the potential increasing for at least a foot of snowfall especially west of New York City across Southeast New York and Northern and Central New Jersey. That said, these amounts could very well be much higher within the banding and potentially lower in areas further east as warm air works into the system.
We expect the precipitation to begin Thursday afternoon or evening and continue through Friday afternoon. The heaviest precipitation is likely to fall overnight Thursday Night and Friday Morning, potentially as very heavy snow within the aforementioned areas. Light to moderate precipitation could continue well through Friday.
There is still significant uncertainty with this system. Please stay tuned for more updates and safety information.
