00:00We have all the ingredients for a post-Christmas Day snowstorm, and it will include New York City.
00:07We begin with the ingredients. We're going to be watching a cold front dropping south
00:11on Christmas Day. It'll be across New York State. Then it comes south and east Christmas night,
00:17and then we have a puddle or dome of cold air across the northeast Friday morning.
00:23We'll watch a storm move eastward. What is that going to do? It's going to produce a west-southwest
00:29wind at the surface. That'll butt up against that colder air as warm air comes in, and then you get
00:34the snow. Now, there's our snow map. Along with the snow, well, let's talk about the snow, a large area
00:42of at least one to three inches of snow, including Philadelphia. Once you get northward along the
00:47Pennsylvania-New York state line, including New York City, there's going to be at least three to
00:52six inches of snow. That'll be Friday night into Saturday, and then in the higher elevations in
00:58the Catskills, we're looking at over six inches of snow, and there is the potential of that six-plus
01:05inches of snow to include New York City and all of Long Island. There's also going to be a lot of ice
01:10with this on the southwestern side of the storm. Again, this will be from Friday to Saturday,
01:16and be careful. Saturday morning, as the storm leaves in locations like New York City, Long Island,
01:22and perhaps even Boston, the precipitation could end as freezing drizzle. Lots of travel delays as we get
01:30into late Friday and Friday night.
