Changes with some snow possible next Wed and then very cold and can a storm make its way north?
- The Long Island forecast is below, and it will stay windy today with gusts up to at least 35 mph from the west. Uneventful weather for the weekend with some showers possible Sunday night.
- Then things start to get interesting. The system for Wednesday that was previously modeled to bring snow to northern New England and some rain for Long Island and southern New England has trended farther south. The Euro (4th image) and GFS (5th image) are showing some snow for Long Island, but there is still uncertainty, and I have posted all 50 Euro ensemble maps for 1 PM to 7 PM Wednesday in the 6th and 7th images. It looks like a relatively quick moving and fairly weak system, but it has the potential to bring a few inches of snow.
- The brief shot of much colder air then arrives behind the storm, and the question becomes... can a storm then make it farther north next weekend into the cold air and produce a more significant snow? The Euro run ends with snow moving up the coast towards Long Island, but looking at the ensembles shows the great uncertainty and that it's a low chance, so for now we should focus on next Wednesday and see how everything evolves.
