Jan 20 Northeast Snow Storm Late Friday Night and Saturday

The next clipper in a series of snow storms impacting the Northeast is forecast to arrive tonight into Saturday. Snow will overspread the region late Friday night and early Saturday morning; the snow will end from west to east late Saturday morning into the Saturday afternoon hours. The heaviest snow is expected along Interstate 80 from Pennsylvania to NYC and southern New England with accumulations in the order of 4 to 7 inches with locally heavier amounts in the mountains. Sleet and freezing rain could mix in with the snow for a time on Saturday afternoon in Long Island with the influence of the warm Atlantic Ocean, this could hold down snow accumulations. A general 1 to 4 inches of snow is expected along the New York State Thruway from Buffalo to Albany. After this storm system departs, a brief warm up early next week will melt most of the snow that has fallen making for a wet and slushy mess.

Jan 18: Parade of Snow Storms For The Northeast

A series of fast moving snow storms or clippers are taking aim at the Northeastern US over the course of the next several days. One of these storm systems is currently departing the Northeast, this system started as snow and sleet in the New York City metropolitan area on Monday night, then as temperatures moderated the rain moved in on Teusday. In the wake of this system an arctic air mass produced an outbreak of Lake Effect Snow that will last through the day Wednesday before shutting off in the early afternoon. The next system in the series of storms headed for the region will arrive on Thursday. This will be a quick hitting storm producing more of a nuisance snow from a coating to upto 3 inches of snow accumulations with greater amounts downwind of the lakes Erie and Ontario. Thereafter, yet another storm system will impact the Northeast on Saturday. This system could have a more pronounced impact in the region producing a more significant snowfall. From 3 to 6 inches of snow could fall north of interstate 80 and along the New York State Thruway. This system could also impact coastal regions along interstate 95 especially in New England with accumulating snow that could affect travel in the big cities. It is too early to tell how this system will manifest itself once it reaches the coast on Saturday, but the potential exists for troublesome snowfall. There are more storms on the horizon beyond this weekend along with outbreaks of cold arctic air with short intermittent warmth spells. Winter seems to finally be getting started, remember February and March tend to have their surprises.

Friday's Storm Could Be An Overachiever

Wintry weather will return to western New York begining early Friday morning. A large storm system resposible for Thursday's rain will lead a big push of arctic air that will swing through the region Thursday night into Friday. This arctric air mass over the open waters of the lakes will produce Lake Effect Snow mainly south of Buffalo Friday and Saturday. The Lake Snows will be enhanced by an upper level low that will be swinging through from western PA through western NY. There is a good likelyhood that this upper low feature will produce a period of heavier snow for all of western New York on Friday from 4:00AM through about 1:00PM. A general 4 to 8 inches of snow can be expected with higher amounts from Lake Effect Snow that will develop down wind of Lake Erie mainly south of Buffalo and down wind of Lake Ontario into Rochester. Travelalong the NYS Thruway will be a mess with heavy snow and gusty winds.
