Special Weather Statement Statement as of 9:55 am EST on December 25, 2004
... Some wintry precipitation is possible Sunday and Monday...
Low pressure over the Gulf of Mexico... currently bringing a white Christmas to Brownsville Texas of all places... will move northeast to a position off the North Carolina coast Sunday morning. An easterly flow developing between the low and strong high pressure over Quebec will bring Atlantic moisture into the area late tonight and Sunday. Temperatures Sunday morning will be cold enough for the precipitation to begin as light snow or freezing drizzle... which could cause icy conditions on area roadways. As the flow off the ocean increases... precipitation should change to a mix of plain rain and snow in New York City and coastal sections by midday Sunday.
Precipitation will change to all snow Sunday night as the intensifying offshore low draws down colder air from the north... and some light accumulations are possible Sunday night into Monday morning.
Anyone planning to travel Sunday into Monday should keep abreast of the latest National Weather Service forecasts. Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio or local media outlets for further updates... or visit the National Weather Service web site at weather.Gov.

update information ! ! Special Weather Statement Statement as of 11:06 am EST on December 25, 2004
... Some wintry precipitation is possible Sunday and Monday...
Low pressure over the Gulf of Mexico will move northeast to a position off the North Carolina coast Sunday morning. An easterly flow developing between the low and strong high pressure over Quebec will bring Atlantic moisture into the area late tonight and Sunday. Temperatures Sunday morning will be cold enough for the precipitation to begin as light snow. The light rain may mix in for a time during the afternoon hours right along the coast... but this should be short lived.
Precipitation will be all snow Sunday night as the intensifying offshore low draws colder air down from the north. Some light accumulations are possible late Sunday night into Monday morning as a strong upper level disturbance pushes through.

Low pressure over the Gulf of Mexico will move northeast to a position well off the North Carolina coast Sunday morning.

... Light snow is expected late Sunday into Monday morning...
Low pressure over the Gulf of Mexico will move northeast to a position off the North Carolina coast by Sunday morning. A strengthening northeasterly flow between the low and strong high pressure over Quebec will bring Atlantic moisture into the area. Light snow is then expected to develop across the region Sunday afternoon. Accumulating snows are likely Sunday night into early Monday as low pressure intensifies off the mid-Atlantic coast and tracks northeast towards the Canadian Maritimes.
Total snowfall accumulations of 3 to 5 inches are possible across the far eastern sections of the tri-state region. Elsewhere... one to three inches are expected. There is still a bit of uncertainty on how close to the coast the low will track. A path closer to the coast will allow for even greater snow accumulations. Therefore... anyone planning to travel late Sunday into Monday should keep abreast of the latest National Weather Service forecasts.
