Wednesday's winter storm still has some rain left with us to deal with.
There will be areas of light rain in the area through about midnight
and there could still be some pockets of freezing rain in the colder
valleys well to the north and west of the city. Some snow showers may
also start to mix in across those colder locations. Lots of clouds will
remain in the area overnight as well with the low temperature heading
down to 34 degrees in Midtown and 28-33 degrees across the colder
suburbs.
Clouds will break at times for some sun on Thursday and
there could be a few snow showers across the northern and western
suburbs. Wind will be an issue as it will be strong and gusty out of
the west. High temperatures will be in the upper 30s to around 40
degrees. A fair amount of clouds will remain Thursday night along with
a gusty northwest breeze which will usher in colder temperatures. The
low temperature will be 26 degrees in Midtown with 18-24 degrees across
the suburbs.
Colder air is poised to move in on Friday and
despite a good amount of sunshine, high temperatures will only rise
into the mid 30s.
A weak storm system will cross the area on
Saturday bringing clouds along with the threat of snow. It should not
be a large snowfall but some accumulation is expected. High
temperatures will reach into the mid 30s.
In the wake of this
storm, we'll get shot of cold air for Sunday along with sun and clouds
and a gusty breeze. Monday will feature sunshine. High temperatures
will generally be around 30 degrees.
Another system heads our
way for Monday bringing back a fair amount of clouds and the threat of
snow showers. High temperature will be in the low to mid 30s.
This
system will intensify as it heads to our north on Tuesday and may spawn
another storm along the coast. This will need to be watched for a
potential snow event. For now it looks like just some snow showers with
a gusty breezy as high temperatures struggle to reach the freezing mark.
A
blast of very cold air looks to move in for Wednesday with a gusty
wind. Sun will battle clouds but high temperatures will not rise out
of the mid 20s.

A winter storm will impact the area overnight through Wednesday.
Snow, sleet, and freezing rain will overspread the area this evening.
This will become rain late tonight in the city and along the coast but
the wintry mix will continue across the northern and western suburbs.
There could be a coating up to an inch of sleet in the city and
along the coast with 1 to 3 inches of snow and sleet across the
northern and western suburbs before a changeover to freezing rain. This
could lead to more serious problems as up to 1/2 inch of ice may
accumulate overnight into Wednesday across the northern and western
suburbs. The result could be downed trees and power lines along with
icy roads.
Temperatures overnight will slowly rise into the mid 30s for the
city and coast and near 30 across the colder suburbs. A Winter Weather
Advisory is posted overnight for New York City, much of Long Island,
southern Westchester, southern Connecticut, and northeast New Jersey.
Winter Storm Warnings are in effect across the northern and western
suburbs overnight into Wednesday morning.
Wednesday will feature rain with freezing rain and some sleet during
the morning across the northern and western suburbs with pockets of
freezing rain still around into the early afternoon. High temperatures
will rise into the low 40s in the city and along the coast but remain
in the mid 30s inland. It will become breezy during the day as well.
The rain will diminish to showers later Wednesday night with some
snow showers possible across the northern and western suburb with all
the precipitation coming to an end after midnight. The low temperature
will head down to 34 degrees in Midtown and 25-30 degrees across the
colder suburbs.
Sun and cloud will combine on Thursday and there could be a few snow
showers across the northern and western suburbs. High temperatures will
be in the upper 30s but it will be rather breezy so it will feel colder
than that.
Colder air is poised to move in on Friday and despite sunshine, high temperatures will only rise into the low and mid 30s.
A weak storm system will cross the area on Saturday bringing lots of
clouds along with the threat of snow showers. High temperatures will

breeze. Monday will feature sunshine. High temperatures will generally
be around 30 on Sunday and into the low 30s for Monday.
Tuesday will feature another storm to move at us from the south.
Thus expect a cloudy day with the threat of snow and rain as high
temperatures reach into the mid 30s.

We've had a break from the cold but the break is about to end as
colder air moves in overnight. The wind will become northwest to north
allowing colder air across the Great Lakes region and southern Canada
to head our way. There will be some clouds around from time to time as
the low temperature drops to 28 degrees in Midtown and 20-25 degrees.
We may see some sun at times Tuesday morning but the clouds will
thicken in the afternoon in advance of the next winter storm to affect
the tri-state area. High temperatures will only be in the mid 30s. This
storm system will be moving up from the Tennessee Valley by late
Tuesday and take a track just to our south during Wednesday. Snow will
break out across the entire area Tuesday evening but as warmer air
mixes in, the snow will change to sleet and eventually rain in the city
and along the coast.
As is common in our winter storms, the inland areas will hold on to
the cold air much longer resulting in the snow changing to sleet and
then to a prolonged period of freezing rain. A Winter Storm Watch has
been issued for later Tuesday into Wednesday across the northern and
western suburbs due to the accumulation of snow and ice.
Snow and sleet accumulations will range from about 1 to 2 inches in
the city and along the coast with 2 to 4 inches across the northern and
western suburbs. Temperatures Tuesday night will hold in the low 30s in
the city and upper 20s across the colder suburbs then rise into the mid
30s overnight.
Wednesday will feature rain for the city and coast with freezing
rain and some rain across the northern and western suburbs. There could
be an accumulation of up to one half inch of ice where there is a
prolonged period of freezing rain. High temperatures will rise into the
low 40s in the city and along the coast but remain in the mid 30s
inland.
Sun and cloud will combine on Thursday and there could be a few snow showers around. High temperatures will be in the upper 30s.
Colder air is poised to move in on Friday and despite sunshine, high temperatures will struggle to get above 30 degrees.
A weak storm system will cross the area on Saturday bringing lots of
clouds along with snow showers. High temperatures will reach into the
mid 30s.
In the wake of this storm, we'll get another blast of cold air for
Sunday and Monday. Sun and clouds will combine on Sunday along with
gusty breeze and some flurries. Monday will feature sunshine but each
day high temperatures will struggle to rise above 30 degrees.

Hey Gang! How is everyone doing? I hope all is well after a nice holiday season. I had a nice week off, visiting family and friends in CA. But now it's time to get back to business for pretty much everyone.
As for the weather, well we're doing just fine today... but there will be some other changes coming up for us especially late tomorrow. Today we'll see cloudy skies with mild temperatures. But tomorrow a storm will swing in from the southwest bringing us another wintry mix to the tri-state tomorrow evening and night. Now this doesn't look like a monster storm, more of a nuisance than anything. We'll more than likely see a tricky morning commute come Wednesday morning and possibly some school delays and things of that sort.
So I had a great time in CA, though the weather there left a little something to be desired. Everyone thinks California is sunny and warm all of the time. Not so much in Northern California. It was cloudy and cool most of the time and temperatures struggled to get out of the low 40s. Bleckkkk...
I wanna hear about some of the good times and maybe some good weather you experienced over the holidays. I'm going to try to post some clips of what was happening with me on my week off. Don't look for anything too crazy... just family and friends and fun.
Hope everyone one is doing fantastic. Happy 2009!!
Rod, Mike and we think his name is gonna be Gunther! He's too cute!
Gunther being a good boy!

Not a bad day to end the weekend and long holiday week but more clouds
and potentially some light precipitation are on the way. It will likely
fall as spotty freezing rain inland; rain for New York City and the
coast.
A complex storm system is weakening upon approaching
our region. Precip arriving Sunday night should be light and spotty
into Monday morning . After lunch time, we will see breaks of sun and
afternoon temperatures will be the mildest of the week with highs into
the 40s.
Tuesday will start quiet but an even more potent storm
will be approaching Tuesday night into Wednesday. Weather maps keep
this one intact when it reaches us, forming a secondary storm along the
coast. Enough mild air is expected to get drawn into the system so that
any wintry or icy precipitation that develops Tuesday night should
change to a cold rain on Wednesday. The precip may be heavy at times
but will be tapering off during the afternoon.
Leftover
flurries Wednesday night into Thursday will give way to clearing and
cold temperatures for the rest of the week. Even colder weather is
poised to make a return late next weekend or next week, possibly with
some snow showers.

The parade of weather systems will continue to march across from the
Pacific to the U.S. and over to the eastern seaboard. Each one will
have a little different identity and a bit of different track resulting
in differing weather conditions through the next week.
Friday's system did not redevelop into a major east coast storm as
had been though earlier in the week so fortunately, most of the region
only got a little light snow. Saturday will be fair but cold with a
gusty wind.
The next system brings clouds on Sunday and a chance of
precipitation by late day or at night. It should turn mild enough so
that it's mostly rain. Any ice at the start over inland suburbs should
change over, too. Then clearing during Monday but windy again with
early high temperatures in the 40s.
Clouds increase again on Tuesday with colder highs in the 30s and
the next system will bring a wintry mix starting later in the day into
Tuesday night. Eventually, enough mild air should come into this storm
too so that a change to rain is expected on Wednesday.
Then quiet again for a day or two, next Thursday and Friday with temperatures near to slightly below normal.

Arctic air swept through the Tri-State area on the first day of
January and a few snow showers are possible on the second day of 2009.
Skies will become partly cloudy tonight with increasing cloud cover
during the overnight hours. The overnight low in Midtown will fall down
to 28 degrees, while the coldest suburbs could have readings in the
teens.
Clouds will continue to build and thicken in advance of the next
area of low pressure expected to move through the Tri-State are Friday.
Light snow showers are expected to move through from mid-morning
through the early half of the afternoon. There could be light snow to
the north and west of the city with no more than an inch of
accumulation, while the city and coast will find a few scattered snow
showers flying around... but nothing sticking to the surfaces.
As the winds become more west or southwesterly tomorrow, the arctic
chill will start to lose some of its grip. Temperatures on Friday will
rebound into the upper 30s in Midtown. The area of low pressure is
expected to exit the region later Friday evening, but it will usher in
gusty winds up to 35 mph.
The start of the first weekend of 2009 will be cold and windy.
Saturday, expect lots of sunshine with gusty northwest winds up to 30
mph. Sunday, sun will give way to increasing clouds with the
possibility of light rain and snow breaking out in the city and north
and west by the afternoon. Otherwise, the high temperature on Sunday
will be in the upper 30s.

Thursday: New Year's Day: It will be a very chilly start to the new
year as we will barely make it to the freezing mark of 32 degrees.
Clouds will be rapidly thrown out in the early on so we should see
plenty of sunshine. It is too bad that won't make a difference as High
pressure out of Canada will be bringing very cold air to the region
that will have a hard time warming up. Highs for the day will be in
the upper 20s with lows in the mid 20s.
Friday: The next storm
geared for Friday is likely to bring some snow/rain showers during the
middle of the day. The storm track keeps changing as it approaches the
eastern half of the U.S. and is now steering more towards upstate N.Y.
near Canada. If it drops lower to us, we will see some accumulation of
a few inches but for now, a dusting at best is what we will get on the
ground. This storm will linger into the evening hours and then pull
out leaving some scattered clouds. Highs will be in the upper 30s and
lows near 30.
Saturday - Tuesday: High pressure takes over for
the rest of the weekend, drying up the sky and bringing some more
sunshine for the next several days. Another storm system will be

Get ready for another spell of rapid weather changes. This time,
unfortunately, no warm weather is involved. It's all about the wintry cold and
snow.
The storm traveling east along interstate 80 Tuesday night will bring
precipitation to our area by Wednesday morning and it will last into the afternoon.
When this type of storm tracks west to east like this, there is usually a very
sharp gradient to snow amounts. South of the system, not much will fall and it
will probably be a mix of wet snow or rain. Along and to the north of the path,
snowfall rates increase. So with the current track across I-80 in New Jersey to
NYC and right across Long Island, the estimates go like this:
A coating to 2 inches or so along that path. Central and southern New Jersey
may not get much at all. However, northern New Jersey, the Hudson Valley and
Connecticut will likely get at least 2 and possibly up to 5 inches of snow.
It's possible to see a few places get close to 6 inches up towards the
interstate 84 corridor in the Hudson Valley and CT. Any deviation north or
south of that path will alter the snow bands north or south respectively. And
we just won't know until the low is approaching NJ.
Fortunately, the storm is a quick mover. It will intensify rapidly as it
moves up towards the New England coast. At that point, it will pull down bitter
arctic air on strong and gusty northerly winds. The combination of falling
temperatures and winds gusting to 45 mph will drive the wind chill down into
the single digits. Anyone outdoors during New Years celebrations must bundle up
in layers to prevent the danger of frostbite.
New Year's Day will be sunny but quite cold. Highs only in the upper 20s to
low 30s.
Then the next storm coming ashore in the Pacific Northwest will affect our
region on Friday into Friday night/Saturday morning. There are dozens of
question to be answered about this one. Will it strengthen? Will a secondary
storm form along the coast? If so, will it intensify when it's too far offshore
or close to the coast? And since it is still so far away, the best bet for now
is to simply call for a wintry mix.
By Saturday afternoon, it will begin to clear and we should go into a period
of quieter weather into early next week. Temperatures will be seasonably cold.

The cooling trend is underway and by midweek it will be quite cold
again. Monday was about 20 degrees cooler than Sunday. Tuesday will be
a few degrees lower and by Wednesday into Thursday, it will turn frigid.
Several cold fronts will pass the area over the next few days.
Overnight will be partly cloudy and there could be a flurry or two
north and west of New York City. A mix of sun and clouds will be back
for Tuesday. Tuesday afternoon highs will be just a little above 40 and
the wind will gust up to about 30 mph.
The next cold front will be a little more potent with a small low
pressure attached to it so there is a better chance of snow or rain
showers from Wednesday morning into the afternoon. Most of it will be
gone before evening so travelers should not have to deal with
precipitation. However, roads and walks may be icy from what does occur
earlier in the day because temperatures will be plummeting.
Highs on Wednesday will start out near 40 but then drop thru the
30's into the 20's. At midnight in Times Square, expect the mercury to
be running between 25 and 30 with wind chills in the teens so be sure
to layer up if you're heading out.
The new year begins with sunny but frigid weather and highs just about getting to near freezing.
Then the next weather system is likely to be even more powerful. As
it swings across from the west, a secondary storm will likely form
along the coast. Depending on it's track and how much ocean air it
brings in, our region is likely to be covered by snow, sleet or rain
through the day into the night.
Clearing is expected for the weekend and it will be seasonably cold.

We enjoyed incredible weather Sunday afternoon. No, we didn't have a
great amount of sun but the temperature still reached record highs in
the low to middle 60s. Even across Long Island, where the southwest
wind blew across the chilly ocean, temperatures managed to climb into
the 50s which were records in some places, too. This is the way this
December has gone. -- a few remarkably warm days followed by a roller
coaster down to more wintry conditions.
It will be similar this
week though not quite as dramatic. A cold front passing through Sunday
night, will drop temperatures into the 40s for Monday but that is still
above normal. Plenty of sun is expected for Monday and even Tuesday,
though Tuesday will be a little cooler with highs of 40-45. We close
the year on Wednesday with highs staying close to 40 and the
possibility of a rain or snow shower. New Year's Eve in Times Square is
expected to be dry but getting colder. Midnight temperatures will be
down to 25-30.
The new year starts quite cold with highs barely
getting to freezing then we turn our attention to a storm that could
bring rain, snow or a mix to the tri-state region on Friday. Hopefully,
it will be pulling out in time for some clearing during Saturday and
lasting into Sunday. Next weekend's temperatures will be near to
slightly below normal.
Have a safe, happy and wonderful New Year!

Warm, moist southerly winds across the cool ocean and the chilly
ground which still has some snow on it in the northwest suburbs, is
producing a very thick fog across the tri-state region. A dense fog
advisory is in effect overnight into Sunday morning. During Sunday, a
cold front will be approaching and turn the wind to a more southwest or
westerly direction. The fog should thin out and allow for some
sunshine. At that point, the mercury will soar through the 50s and into

afternoon. The cold front itself will likely produce a few showers
later in the afternoon into the evening.
Once the front passes,

While there will be rain around the area this weekend, temperatures will be mild. Saturday, daytime highs will be in the lower 50s.
As the warm front lifts to the north of the area Saturday morning, there could be a break in the precipitation Saturday afternoon before the cold front swing through late in the day into Sunday.

It's the night before Christmas and the rain continues to fall across the
Tri-State region. A Flood Watch has been posted for Ulster and Dutchess
counties in New York, as well as Litchfield County in Connecticut. As warm air
continues to pump into the area and the rain continues to fall, there is a
concern to the north and west of the city for rapid snow melt. That's why the Flood
Watch will remain posted until Friday morning.
The overnight low in Midtown Manhattan will fall down to 36 degrees and it
will remain a touch cooler in the suburbs. The cold front responsible for all
of the rain is expected to move through the area after midnight. So, until
then, expect light to moderate rain to fall. During the overnight hours,
however, the region is expected to dry out from a west to east.
Christmas Day look to be merry, but windy. Thursday, clouds will give way to

The dry pattern will continue Friday for all of those ready to hit the

After being in the deep freeze for the last two days, milder air is on
the way. This will come with a price though as clouds will thicken
Tuesday evening and we'll get into some precipitation overnight.
Even
though the entire area is still below freezing Tuesday evening, by the
time the moisture gets here well after midnight, we should climb above
freezing in the city and along the coast leading to mainly a rain
forecast there. The problem will be for the northern and western
suburbs where temperatures will take much longer to reach 32 degrees so
there will be sleet and freezing rain occurring over those colder
areas.
A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for this
across northwest New Jersey, the lower Hudson Valley and interior
southern Connecticut. There may be a small amount of ice that
accumulates so keep that in mind for your early morning travel plans.
Temperatures should rise to near 30 degrees by daybreak across the
colder suburbs and into the mid and upper 30s for the city and along
the coast.
A cold front will head toward the tri-state area on
Wednesday. This will create a gusty southwesterly flow of air ahead of
the front allowing milder air to move in. Expect clouds with periods
of rain. High temperatures will rise into the upper 40s and may even
hit 50 degrees in New York City. The cold fron will not pass until
early Christmas morning so the rain will continue past midnight and
then diminish to showers. The low temperature will be 40 degrees in
Midtown and 33-38 degrees across the colder suburbs.
With the
front clearing the area early Christmas morning we'll return to a
combination of sun and some clouds along with a bit of a breeze out of
the northwest. It's not really that cold behind the front so look for
high temperatures to range in the mid to some upper 40s.
Sun will give way to clouds on Friday with high temperatures in the mid 40s.
A
storm system will approach from the west during Saturday so clouds will
remain in place along with the threat of rain as somewhat milder
temperatures return. Highs will reach into the low 50s.
Showers
may linger through Sunday morning with a combination of sun and clouds
returning in the afternoon. It won't cool down immediately behind this
front so high temperatures should again be in the low 50s.
Lots
of sunshine comes in for Monday and Tuesday with more seasonal
temperatures. High temperatures will be in the mid 40s on Monday and
