On The Fringe of Another Big Winter Storm
***Winter Weather Advisory For Counties Bordering The NY/PA State Line From 7pm Tuesday Until 1am Thursday***
It's a gray but quiet start to our Tuesday as high pressure is still holding on to NY and PA. We'll see a few peeks of sunshine through lunch time today before clouds thicken up by this afternoon in advance of our next big winter storm. Temperatures this morning are near the 20 degree mark and we'll rise to near 30 by this afternoon.
A low pressure system approaching the Ohio River Valley will arrive tonight bringing us a chance of light snow showers after midnight. We'll recieve 1-2" of new snow by tomorrow morning, especially through Northern Pennsylvania. During the early morning hours that low pressure system will weaken and transfer it's energy to the coast creating a stronger storm system. The low pressure system along the coast will then spread moisture into the Twin Tiers bringing moderate to heavy snow through lunch time. The winds will also pick up as the storm intensifies creating blowing and drifting snow. Travel will be very dangerous tomorrow with slippery conditions and reduced visibilities. So, if you do have plans to be out, please use caution and slow it down. 3-6" of snow is expected through the Twin Tiers with up to 8 inches possible to the south of Binghamton through the Poconos and parts of Wayne and Sullivan Counties. The heaviest snow where up to 18" will fall is going to be to south of us near Southern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Long Island.
Snow will come to an end by Wednesday evening as the storm pulls away from the coast. Following this storm system, winds will switch back to the northwest bringing colder and unsettled weather with lake effect snow showers for the rest of the week.
