11:55am the snowy pattern continues today as a broad upper level low continues to pinwheel storm after storm through the Northeast. On Friday, a band of snow produced a general 1" to 4" snowfall in the five boroughs of NYC yesterday with as much as 6" of snow in northeastern New Jersey and up to 12" in parts of Connecticut. The snow was most persistent once it passed to the east of New York confining the heaviest accumulations to Long Island and Connecticut. Today, another round of snow will sweep through the area and will produce an additional 1" of snow in NYC with up to 5" of snow as you head east towards the eastern end of Long Island. Snow will also be an issue around Buffalo as the Lake Effect continues, an additional 1-3 inches of snow are possible by tonight. Looking ahead, there is still a chance of another more powerful storm system to affect the Northeastern seaboard. At this time, I don't think that this next storm will affect the New York City metro area. The more likely scenario is that once this potential storm system develops Tuesday evening is will track up the coast; it looks as if the majority of moisture associated with this low pressure system will remain off shore, sparing the Tristate from another blizzard. As with any potential coastal storm, we are still days away from this scenario. Any deviation in this storms track as it heads up the coast could change the forecast significantly.
