NEW YORK (WABC) — A developing coastal storm will move up the Eastern Seaboard Sunday into Monday, bringing a period of light to moderate snow, a rain/snow mix near the coast, and some gusty winds.
While this system will rapidly strengthen offshore, current trends keep the center far enough out to sea that the Tri-State Area is unlikely to see a major snowfall. Still, the storm will come close enough to bring snow that will accumulate, mostly 1″-3″.
The storm is forecast to intensify quickly on Sunday as it tracks off the Mid-Atlantic coast.
A frontal boundary extending back toward the Eastern Great Lakes will act as a zone of convergence, allowing bands of snow to develop inland and affect the metro area.
What to Expect
Timing:
Snow begins Sunday and continues into Monday
Light snow showers may linger through Monday as the storm pulls away
Winds:
Gusty at times, especially along coastal areas
Snowfall Potential
Inland and NYC: 1″-3″
East and southern NJ Coast: 3″-6″
Why Confidence Is Tricky
This storm carries “edge-of-the-envelope” uncertainty: the city sits on the western flank of the developing low, meaning small track shifts could influence totals by several inches.
Looking Ahead
Snow tapers Monday with lingering snow showers, followed by colder and brighter weather Tuesday.
