Weather synopsis: Friday February 4

12:44pm another storm is in the forecast for the Northeast on Saturday. This storm will move northeastward and produce a swath of precipitation - predominantly closer to the coast. Light rain, snow and sleet will fall through the day on Saturday in New York City with light snow further inland. Snow flurries could make it all the way in to Buffalo with little to no accumulations. Then, the upper level low feature associated with this storm will produce a light, but steadier snowfall during the late evening hours on Saturday over New York City. Snowfall totals should be minimal between 1-4 inches. After this weekend's storm, two more storms will affect the Northeast, the latter of which could turn into a big Nor'Easter late next week. Temperatures will actually moderate by a few degrees early in the week - then another arctic air mass will infiltrate the region behind a cold front on Tuesday, this will set the stage for the potential Nor'Easter later on during the week. It is too early to forecast the precise impact this system will have on the Northeast, however; forecast models are indicating a strengthening system moving up the eastern sea board around the Thursday time frame.
