Special Weather Statement 7pm update !
Special Weather Statement Statement as of 6:56 PM EST on January 16, 2005
... Light snow overnight and then frigid temperatures to follow...
... Snow Advisory for eastern Long Island and southeastern Connecticut...
A deepening low pressure system off the middle Atlantic coast will graze portions of southern New England tonight and into early Monday morning... bringing some snow to the region overnight. Behind the departing low pressure system... a vigorous upper level low will pass through the area... extending the snow into early Monday afternoon. For the most part one to three inches will fall across the region... except 3 to 5 inches over far eastern sections. A brisk northeast wind will combine with the dry fluffy snow to produce areas of blowing snow. Visibilities will be reduced in the snow and blowing snow late tonight and Monday... so travelers are urged to use caution.
Low pressure will intensify and pull into the Canadian Maritimes on Monday. Behind it... Arctic high pressure will build into the region. Expect temperatures to hold in the 20s on Monday... then plummet into the teens for the city and coast and single digits inland Monday night. The frigid temperatures combined with northwest winds of 15 to 25 mph will create dangerous wind chill values of 0 to 5 below in the New York and New Jersey Metro ar ea... and as low as 15 below in outlying areas. Anybody expecting to be outdoors is urged to dress warmly with several layers to reduce the threat from frostbite.
