Old Man Winter ain’t done yet.
A robust, multi-day nor’easter is predicted to blast the Northeast through the first half of the work week, bringing strong wind gusts and heavy rain — and the potential for some snow — to the Big Apple.
The storm began taking shape Monday morning off the Carolina coast but will push northeast, bringing a bout of heavy rain to Recent York by the afternoon.
Because the storm progresses toward Nantucket, cold air may fit its way toward the Big Apple and open the door to the potential for snow, Fox Weather meteorologist Christopher Tate told The Post.
“It could possibly be heavy at times if we do switch over since the storm is forecast to have numerous moisture with it. So if we do switch over to snow, we are going to likely see intervals of moderate to heavy snow reducing visibility,” Tate said.
Any snow that falls likely won’t stick as temperatures will remain above 32 degrees for the whole thing of the storm.
“Recent York is a unbelievable urban heat island which implies town is all the time warmer than the encompassing area. So you understand we were probably not going to get any sort of blockbuster snow,” Tate said.
The Fox Forecast Center predicts between one and three inches of snow will likely be measured in Central Park if the conditions align enough for snow to fall during this week’s squall.
Warmer temperatures mean people driving to work Tuesday morning likely is not going to see ice or snow causing major issues on the roads. Areas north of Manhattan, where snow has a better probability of sticking to the bottom, may experience some issues.
Suburbanites in North Jersey, areas north of Yonkers and around Stamford have higher possibilities of getting snow that sticks to the bottom and accumulates, Tate said.
Parts of western and northern Recent England into upstate and central Recent York should see the heaviest snowfall. The quantity of snow expected will decrease closer to the Interstate 95 corridor, including Boston and Recent York City, where the heaviest rain is anticipated.
Recent Yorkers in Long Island will likely see heavy rain because the storm picks up Monday evening.
There are currently coastal flood advisories up for all of Long Island east of Queens.
Through the height of the storm, there could also be sporadic wind gusts reaching as much as 45 miles per hour seen each in Recent York City and Long Island.
The robust wind may cause additional flooding especially in those regions and in other low-lying areas.
The storm is predicted to maneuver out of the region by the top of Wednesday, but strong gusty winds will linger for days, leaving town in a chill.
