Saturday was an interesting day in the New York metro area... temperatures bombed out from 59 in the day to 29 in the night in Central Park. A 30 degree temp drop here in the city is huge. And it hasn't gotten above 40 since. That was arctic air mass number 1.
Enter arctic air mass number 2, which should sent temperatures down another 30 degrees or so tonight. Right now it is 35. Tonight we could see temperatures in the positive single digits, with wind chills in the negative single digits. For NYC in March, that's a bit cold! The cold front's been moving on through all today, and some heavy snow showers actually came with (unexpected). We had blizzard conditions for an hour or so today, although the snow ended and gave way to clear skies *sigh*
Should be more fun Tuesday night into Wednesday for the Mid Atlantic. A clipper is coming down from Alberta as I speak and is headed East. GFS and NAM Bufkits (not to mention the NWS, Joe Bastardi, and Henry Margusity) are leaning towards 3-5" for NYC down through DCA, but I'm less convinced. When was the last time an Alberta Clipper amounted for more than an inch or two in the Mid-Atlantic? New England sometimes squeases 3 or more inches from these things, but not from NYC south.
Thus, I say a trace to two inches of snow from DCA to NYC, including BWI and PHL. 2 inches is most likely from Baltimore to Philadelphia. I don't expect anything north of NYC, as this storm should be quite suppressed. Even as far south as New Haven should see a trace AT MOST.
Clippers suck. Give me a Nor'eastah!!!!!! *sigh*
