Thursday Midday Winter Storm Update

Updated: 1700z/12:00/12:00PM

**Everything working out as expected right now guys! NWS and the other major weather outlets now scrambling to revise their forecasts - they always seem to...miss the boat shall we say?**

FORECAST

TODAY - Snow will continue for the next several hours tapering off between 4 and 6pm this evening, most likely an additional 3-6" today as a heavy band comes through from the west in response to a bit of an amplification in the system. TOTAL snowfall can be viewed on map below, but generally 4-8" in the Westchester Area. Temps steady in the low 20's, as the storm ends you will know it when you see a wall of sunshine to the NW.

TONIGHT - Bitter cold, lows in the single digits around 5-8° MUCH colder NW of NYC. Clearing out completely.

FRIDAY - Sunny, watch for some ice MAYBE, not very likely but possible. Highs in the low 20's and windy.

NOTE: Looks like the cold dry air is winning out in the Boston/New England Area (Sorry Peter!), the storm will end latest down in the Philly/Jersey area as the cold air takes over this evening 6-9pm, 4-6pm for NYC/northern Suburbs and 2-4pm in CT and Upstate NY and Boston.

****MIDDAY UPDATE FOR THE STORM****

Snow Still falling at a good clip here in Irvington, expect it to stay as a Snow/Sleet mix for the next several hours for ALL areas NORTH of I95/I84 before changing over to an Icey rain to all rain by nightfall. Unless you are FAR north, WELL north of Albany, do not expect it to stay as snow past dinner time.

TOTAL daytime accumulations 1-2" and MAYBE 1-3" in the hills, Elevation dependent. 

Warm air starting to surge in as you can see on the image I have posted below..expect temps to go up into the mid to high 30's as it changes over to rain. Tomorrow HIGHS in the low to mid 50's. Rain. MORE ON THIS TONIGHT.

Have a great day!
