THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN UPTON, NY HAS ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE TRI-STATE AREA AND A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR EASTERN LONG ISLAND. At 2pm the current temperature in The Bronx is 25°F with an overcast sky and snow showers in the area. Today will be blustery with winds howling over 30MPH and gusting up and over 50MPH. This combination of cold air and wind will make it feel much colder than the actual air temperature. Wind chills will be in the single digits. A band of moderate snow has developed and is going to affect eastern Long Island with 2.0" to 5.0" of new snow. The snow combined with a strong wind will create near white-out conditions periodically throughout the day over Long Island. NYC will experience some on and off light snow and could pick up an additional 1.0" of snow before its all said and done. The cold and windy conditions will stick around so expect a frigid Sunday. Winds will subside by Monday but it will remain cold through the week. The next chance of precipitation should come by Friday with a potential coastal storm developing. NCEP forecast models are in disagreement as to what track this storm system might take, some bring it far enough off shore that we will have a sunny day, some bring it close enough to the coast to give us another snow event.
