"All eyes are fixed on a developing coastal storm over the weekend, with higher snow totals increasingly likely for New York City and the Tri-State Area. A winter storm watch and a First Alert Weather Day are in effect for the Tri-State Area, starting Sunday morning through Monday afternoon. After what is expected to be a remarkably nice Saturday featuring some sun and milder temperatures reaching the mid-to-upper 40s, colder air will rush back in on Sunday in advance of the next storm."
"Forecast models remain at odds on how much snow the region will get, but the general consensus is north and west of New York City will see at least 6-10 inches, while points south and east could get up to 15 inches. The snowfall will be heavy at times with blizzard conditions featuring winds up to 50 mph possible. The GFS model, which has been showing a significant snowstorm for days, continues to be the most aggressive with projections."
A potent coastal storm will impact the Tri-State Area from Sunday morning through Monday afternoon, bringing accumulating snow, strong winds, and coastal flooding. Forecast models differ, with the GFS projecting upwards of 20 inches in places while the EURO suggests 6–8 inches for most areas. General consensus indicates 6–10 inches north and west of New York City and up to 15 inches farther south and east, with heavy snow and possible blizzard conditions and gusts to 50 mph. A winter storm watch and First Alert Weather Day are in effect. Pre-storm operations include plow and salt preparation, 12-hour sanitation shifts, and a Code Blue. Lingering impacts may affect Monday morning commutes.
