pretty in pink...i KNEW we were going to get it!
The storm system will arrive in two waves.
This first round of precipitation will eject from out of the Midwest and into the Northeast on Wednesday. It may be enhanced by a developing surface low off the coast of New England. Thursday, an upper-level system will pivot through New York and New England, delivering another dose of snow to portions of the region. The question with this setup over the two days is how much cold air will be available, which makes the forecast snowfall amounts somewhat uncertain.
Our exclusive Winter Watch graphic above shows where we have the highest probabilities for significant snow accumulations from Upstate New York to central and southern portions of New England (white shadings). A wintry mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain is possible from coastal Southern New England to northern Pennsylvania and southern New York (pink shadings).
As you can see on our snowfall accumulation forecast map below, the two days combined could deliver 6 to 12 inches of snow to northern New York and central portions of New England.
