After a brief break from the brutal cold on Tuesday, the bitter chill returns for the next few days as an arctic mass settles across the tri-state region. Wind chills will likely drop into the single digits and teens once again.
Heading into the weekend, all eyes turn to a developing coastal storm that could potentially bring heavy snow and gusty winds.
Wednesday features sunshine all day long, but the northerly winds will persist. This will keep highs in the upper 20s, but it will feel more like the teens through the day.
The chill eases a bit on Thursday, but it will still remain cold, with highs only climbing to the low 30s.
Entering Friday, we could start to see the effects of the coastal storm. In the afternoon, a cold front will pass to the north, bringing some scattered snow showers around. To the south, a coastal storm will track up the east coast.
All forecast models are starting to lean to a considerable snow event at this time, with gusty winds starting Friday night and continue for much of Saturday. A strong onshore flow will also bring the chance of significant coastal flooding and beach erosion during high tide.
While confidence is increasing for this storm to produce snow, there is still a fair amount uncertainty about how much snow could accumulate across the region. We may see narrow bands of heavy snow from this storm that could increase snow amounts greatly in a small area.
Regardless of the amount snow, the storm should taper off by Saturday night. The skies should clear out quickly on Sunday, but it will be very cold with highs in the upper 20s.
