Bklink: Winter Weather Advisory

March 1st, 2009 · No Comments

From the good, old National Weather Service…”MAJOR SNOWSTORM TO IMPACT TRI-STATE AREA TONIGHT AND MONDAY….LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE CAROLINA COAST THIS EVENING WILL TRACKNORTHEAST…PASSING TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF LONG ISLAND MONDAY MORNING. THE LOW WILL THEN PROCEED UP INTO THE GULF OF MAINE BY MONDAY EVENING. STRONG CANADIAN HIGH RESSURE TO THE NORTH WILL PROVIDE THE COLD AIR FOR A MAINLY SNOW EVENT…WITH SOME SLEET MIXING IN LATE TONIGHT AND MONDAY MORNING OVER FAR SOUTHEASTERN CONNECTICUT AND THE TWIN FORKS OF LONG ISLAND……WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM EST MONDAY…A STEADY SNOW WILL OVERSPREAD THE TRI-STATE AREA FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST THIS EVENING. THE SNOW WILL BE HEAVY AT TIMES THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT AND INTO MONDAY MORNING. THERE MAY BE ENOUGH WARM AIR ALOFT FOR SLEET TO MIX IN ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN CONNECTICUT AND THE TWIN FORKS OF LONG ISLAND AT THE HEIGHT OF THE STORM…BUT FOR THE MOST PART THIS WILL BE AN ALL SNOW EVENT. THE SNOW WILL THEN TAPER OFF MONDAY AFTERNOON…FOR THE NEW YORK CITY METRO AREA…8 TO 12 INCHES Of SNOWFALL IS EXPECTED. SUSTAINED NORTH WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS OF 30 TO OCCASIONALLY 35 MPH WILL RESULT IN BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW WITH VISIBILITIES OF LESS THAN A QUARTER OF A MILE.” [Accuweather]
