Snow Overspreads Area

Snow is underway now as the radars are rather impressive and snow is heading to the east. The next thing we are looking ahead to is where it changes to rain and in some areas whether it changes to rain at all. Temperatures are borderline near or above freezing.

HRRR SURFACE MAP AND RADAR OVERNIGHT CLICK TO ANIMATE

The HRRR model shows the rain snow line gets to about NYC and the South Shore of Long Island before collapsing to the southeast. The HRRR has pulled back slightly on the snow amounts from earlier today keeping max amounts in the 3 to 5 inch range which to me seems reasonable. I’m making no changes in my original forecast from yesterday. The HRRR matches up pretty well with what i forecasted so we shall see what happens.

HRRR SNOW FORECAST OVERNIGHT

The satellite picture shows the clouds racing across the northeast. This system is moving very quickly which will keep amounts from getting out of hand. The temperatures above freezing will probably reduce problems on roadways overnight. This is all out of here during the early morning hours and by daybreak most of the area will wake up to sunshine.
