THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR SOUTHERN
CONNECTICUT...NORTHEAST NEW JERSEY AND SOUTHEAST NEW YORK.
.DAY ONE...TONIGHT.
DUE TO THE MELTING OF SNOW DURING THE DAYTIME...AND THEN THE
REFREEZING OF STANDING WATER AT NIGHT...BLACK ICE WILL CONTINUE
TO BE A PROBLEM ON AREA ROADWAYS...ESPECIALLY ON UNTREATED ROAD
SURFACES.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY
...SIGNIFICANT FREEZING RAIN EVENT POSSIBLE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO
SATURDAY...
A STORM SYSTEM APPROACHING FROM THE GREAT LAKES FRIDAY...WILL
DEVELOP A SECONDARY LOW OVER THE MID ATLANTIC STATES BY SATURDAY
MORNING. THESE TWO LOWS WILL MOVE NORTHEAST THROUGH SUNDAY...AS AN
AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE SLOWLY RETREATS NORTHEAST INTO THE CANADIAN
MARITIME PROVINCES. THE COMBINATION OF PRECIPITATION AHEAD OF LOW
AND LOW LEVEL COLD AIR BEING RE-ENFORCED BY THE SNOW PACK AND THE
RETREATING HIGH...COULD PRODUCE A SIGNIFICANT ICING EVENT ACROSS
INTERIOR PORTIONS OF THE TRI-STATE FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY
MORNING.
THE PRECIPITATION SHOULD TURN TO ALL RAIN SATURDAY...POSSIBLY
HEAVY. THIS COULD CREATE FLOODING CONCERNS AS WELL.
THERE IS STILL UNCERTAINTY ON THE EXACT TIMING...STRENGTH AND
TRACK OF THIS SYSTEM. IF THE COASTAL LOW IS WEAKER OR FORMS FARTHER
NORTH THAN EXPECTED...LESS COLD AIR WILL BE TRAPPED NEAR THE
SURFACE...REDUCING THE POTENTIAL FOR FREEZING RAIN.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.
&&
THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK PROVIDES A SUMMARY OF POTENTIAL
WIDESPREAD HAZARDOUS WEATHER EVENTS THAT MAY REACH NWS WARNING
CRITERIA. MOST LONG FUSED NWS WATCHES...WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES IN
EFFECT ARE HIGHLIGHTED.
