Special Weather Statement Statement as of 5:23 am EST on January 3, 2005
... There is a chance for a winter storm Wednesday afternoon into early Thursday...
The latest forecast models show a Canadian high pressure system building southeast across the region just in time for the next wave of low pressure that develops across the south central U.S. And moves northeast toward the Ohio Valley during Wednesday.
As always... the position and intensity of both the Canadian high and the Ohio Valley low will be critical in determining precipitation type and amounts across the region.
At this time... there is a potential for a prolonged winter weather event... which could bring an accumulating snowfall to the tri state area... mainly from Wednesday afternoon into early Thursday.

... There is a chance for winter weather late Wednesday afternoon into early Thursday...
Canadian high pressure will build across New England on Wednesday allowing colder air to work into the tri-state area. Meanwhile... low pressure is expected to move out of the Midwest and track toward the local area.
Any precipitation that develops on Wednesday across colder inland areas should just be in the form of snow. Areas closer to the coast will be initially warmer... but should cool down later in the day. As such... any rain near the coast is expected to gradually change over to mainly snow late Wednesday and continue into early Thursday. There still is some uncertainty on both when the precipitation will change over to all snow... and how much precipitation we will see. However... the potential exists for an accumulating snowfall late Wednesday into Thursday across the area... with the best chance being across colder inland areas.
