THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN UPTON, NY HAS ISSUED A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY UNTIL 6PM. Currently in the Bronx the temperature is 30°F with overcast skies and moderate snow falling. Our coastal storm that we've been tracking over the past few weeks now has pulled a fast one on us. The precipitation has developed earlier than expected. As temperatures still haven't had a chance to moderate much a deeper pocket of cold air is in place and has allowed the precipitation to fall as all snow for the majority of the morning. Expect snow accumulations to range between 2.0" across Long Island to 5.0" as you head away from the coast. NYC can end up with 1.0" to 3.0" before this pocket of precipitation moves away. Expect the snow to mix with sleet and some rain later on as we head into the afternoon hours. There will be a lull in the precipitation so we will have a pocket of dry weather for a period today but very light rain and snow showers could return just in time for the ball drop in Time Square. Behind this system we will be left with cold temperatures and gusty winds once again making it feel much colder than the actual thermometer reading. On Saturday and Sunday we will also have some snow flurries develop as this storm intensifies off the New England coast over the Gulf of Main. The bitterly cold air will stick around. This will set the stage for a second round of snow by next week with another potential coastal storm forming though it is too early to tell.
