Blizzard Watch
Statement as of 4:02 AM EST on December 18, 2009
... Blizzard watch in effect from Saturday morning through Sunday
morning...
The National Weather Service in Upton has issued a blizzard
watch... which is in effect from Saturday morning through Sunday
morning.
Deepening low pressure over the Atlantic Saturday and Saturday
night will result in the potential for a period of heavy snow and
high winds across Long Island. Snowfall accumulations of 6 to 12
inches with wind gusts of up to 50 mph are possible.
It is important to note that the exact track of this system is
still uncertain. A glancing blow with less snow and lighter winds
remains a possibility.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A blizzard watch means there is a potential for falling and/or
blowing snow with strong winds and extremely poor visibilities.
This can lead to whiteout conditions and make travel very
dangerous.
Blizzard Warning
Statement as of 4:34 PM EST on December 18, 2009
... Blizzard Warning remains in effect from noon Saturday to 11 am
EST Sunday...
A Blizzard Warning remains in effect from noon Saturday to 11 am
EST Sunday.
Deepening low pressure over the Atlantic Saturday and Saturday
night will result in the a period of heavy snow and high winds
across Long Island. Snowfall accumulations of 10 to 14 inches...
locally higher amounts. Wind gusts of up to 40 to 50 mph are
possible... especially late Saturday afternoon and Saturday night.
These strong winds along with the heavy snow will reduce
visibilities to under a quarter mile at times.
Any minor deviation in the track of this storm system will have a
large impact on snow amounts and wind forecasts. At this time...
the best estimation is for the storm to take a favorable track to
produce heavy snow and strong winds for Long Island. Stay tuned.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A Blizzard Warning means severe winter weather conditions are
expected or occurring. Falling and blowing snow with strong winds
and poor visibilities are likely. This will lead to whiteout
conditions... making travel extremely dangerous. Do not travel. If
you must travel... have a winter survival kit with you. If you get
stranded... stay with your vehicle.
