‘Bomb cyclone’ threatens the Big Apple and the entire region; Here’s What You Should Know – NBC New York (47)

New York City and the entire region will be under a winter weather advisory for most of Saturday.

Snow totals of one to three inches are forecast for parts of northeastern New Jersey, southern Connecticut and southeastern New York, according to the advisory issued by the National Weather Service.

In addition, the National Weather Service notes that there could also be wind gusts of up to 50 mph. The notice will be in effect from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Wind gusts could be powerful enough to blow down tree limbs and power lines.

The National Weather Service also said freezing temperatures overnight could create dangerous lows on Sunday morning.

“Temperatures will drop rapidly throughout the day Saturday, resulting in rapid freezing of standing water, making travel difficult,” the advisory states.

The forecast from the National Weather Service calls for rain until around noon and then there will be snow. The precipitation could be heavy at times.

NEW JERSEY

While forecasters have said for days that Saturday will be wet and windy in New Jersey, a new concern is a possible flash freeze as a result of a rapid drop in temperature during the afternoon that could quickly create icy conditions on roads in much of the state as rain turns to snow.

Up to 6 inches of snow could fall at higher elevations in Sussex County with much of North Jersey. All of central Jersey and the Jersey Shore are likely to end up with less than an inch when the snow mixes with rain during the afternoon, the National Weather Service said Friday.

The storm is likely to be a rain event in South Jersey.

It will also be cooler during the day: there will be widespread temperatures in the 40s in the morning before the mercury dips even lower at night with wind chill values ​​in the single digits.

For those who prefer not to deal with snow, the good news is that the moisture in the system will have largely moved away from the area by the time it gets cold enough to generate substantial buildup.

A winter storm watch will be in effect for Sussex and Warren counties from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. 3 to 6 inches of snow is expected Saturday along with wind gusts up to 35 mph, creating dangerous driving conditions.

There are no other watches and warnings for New Jersey as of Friday morning, although winds of 20 to 30 mph are expected to gust to 40 to 45 mph on Saturday, making tree damage possible. and some scattered power outages.

Although the rain and snow will end Saturday night from west to east, windy conditions will remain overnight on Sunday morning.

Sunday will be cold with highs only in the 30s, although it will be dry and sunny. That will be the last day of winter for a while, as dry and warm conditions are forecast through at least Thursday.
