A strong nor'easter will form along the southeastern coast of the U.S. on Saturday. It has the potential to rapidly intensify offshore and bring impactful snow and wind along the Carolinas on Saturday. The latest trends are suggesting a minor snow event in New York City on Sunday. The biggest concern with this storm will be wind gusts near 40 mph+, primarily at the coast. Minor coastal flooding and beach erosion is possible during high tide, especially since it'll be a full moon this weekend.
New York City will likely be on the fringe of the storm with minor snow impacts, and the highest snow totals being south and east of the area. However, there's still time for the storm to shift closer or further away over the next few days. A subtle shift of 20-30 miles will make a huge difference with this storm and bring a sharp cutoff across the region. We'll continue to watch and keep you up to date with the latest.
We're on day six of sub-freezing temperatures. The core of the cold will last through this weekend with severely cold wind chills below zero during the morning hours. This will be the longest stretch of sub-freezing temperatures since 2018, which lasted 9 days. The record is 16 days, set back in 1961. Temperatures will climb to the 30s through next week.
