"The storm system is currently moving along the coast of Canada. Whether the system strengthens into a powerful coastal storm along the Northeast shoreline, or slides harmlessly out to sea, depends on several factors, including its track and the availability of cold air from Canada. While some snow appears to be the most likely outcome, all scenarios remain on the table, from a complete miss that tracks out to sea, to a major nor'easter, according to the FOX Forecast Center."
"As of Thursday, the National Weather Service forecasts a 50% chance of snow for New York City on Sunday and Sunday night. A 30% chance of precipitation late Saturday could begin as rain before changing to snow as colder air moves in. How much snow are we getting Sunday? If snow does fall, current projections suggest only a few inches for the city unless the storm tracks closer to the coast and intensifies. A more offshore track would significantly reduce snowfall totals."
""A coastal low is really what's going to determine what happens," FOX 5 NY meteorologist Liv Johnson said. "If this low moves closer, that increases our chance of seeing some snowfall. If it stays further offshore, which the models are just not agreeing on right now , then our chances decrease.""
The storm system is moving along the coast of Canada. Whether it strengthens into a powerful coastal storm along the Northeast shoreline or slides out to sea depends on its track and the availability of cold air from Canada. Weather models disagree, with one model showing a major snowstorm while others show lighter snow or a more offshore solution. The National Weather Service gives New York City a 50% chance of snow Sunday and Sunday night, and a 30% chance of precipitation late Saturday that could begin as rain before changing to snow. If snow occurs, most projections suggest only a few inches for the city unless the storm tracks closer to the coast and intensifies.
