    High Wind Warning Wind Advisories Into Monday Damaging

    Wind Gusts to 60 MPH Possible

    A powerful storm is making its way through Western NY and heading for Northern New England. A cold front will swing eastward and pass through this afternoon. Ahead of this we will have showers and perhaps a thunderstorm or two. Behind it we will dry out but the big problem will be the wind. High Wind Warnings are posted inland and Wind Advisories from late today into Monday. Winds will increase from the west at 25 to 35 mph with gusts to 50 or even 60 mph at times.

    Overnight temperatures inland had a very tough time getting above 32 leaving areas of freezing rain and icing across the Lower Hudson Valley east into interior Connecticut. Everywhere else temperatures did get above freezing but hovered in the 30s all night. We will see temperatures rise as a warm front pushes northward but there will be a wide range in high temperatures. Highs could reach 60 in South Jersey and points south while some areas north of New York City will not get out of the 30s. Overnight it turns much colder as Monday morning lows will be in the upper teens inland and low to mid 20s coast and warmer urban locations. Monday will be windy with partly sunny skies. Temperatures will have a hard time pushing through the low and middle 30s in most places. Add the wind and temperatures will feel about 10 or so degrees colder. Tuesday and Wednesday will be cold days and we will see sunshine Tuesday with highs just in the upper 20s to mid 30s and the same holds for Wednesday though it will be a day of sunshine giving way to arriving clouds. A new storm system will be moving across the Gulf States Wednesday and then attempting to make the turn northward up the East Coast Wednesday night and Thursday. Storm tracks all winter long have favored the Mid Atlantic states and cities like Baltimore and Washington DC have done quite well when it comes to snowfall this season. Areas further up the coast have seen far less. This southern trend of storm tracks continues with this particular storm. While I do think we will see some snow Thursday reaching uo to the lower Hudson Valley to Southern New England, this looks to be another instance where 6 inch plus snows will set up from Southern New Jersey and points south. Now there is always the chance that the low could climb a little further north pushing heavier snow northward up the coast and at this point in time, we can't rule that possibility out. For now we will go with the idea of a chance for at least some snow Thursday and then wait to see how models settle out today and Monday.
