This is my first post in about six months, feels good to get back on the weather horse. I could not have picked a more fitting day to return than today, Groundhog Day. Earlier today in the town of Punxsutawney Pennsylvania Americas most famous meteorologist, a groundhog named Phil, has seen his shadow predicting six more weeks of winter. If tomorrows forecast is any testament to the groundhog's prediction then he's right on the mark. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for for the Tri-state area where up to 7 inches of snow are possible by tomorrow evening. A storm system will be moving in from the west spreading moisture into the Midatlantic and southern New England. Precipitation will initially fall as a mixture of rain and snow, however there will be just enough cold air in place that the precipitation will fall as a light to moderate wet snow. General snow accumulations will vary by location Expect 1-3 inches along the immediate coast and eastern Long Island, 4-6 inches for central and western Long Island, the five boroughs, and Westchester, and up to 7 inches as you head south and west away from the city. In terms of timing, precipitation will break out around 6 am just in time for the morning rush and gradually pick up in intensity through the early afternoon, ending by the evening rush hour around 5 pm.
