Omega Block Final Map for January 14,15th


White Plains, NY (Jan. 14th. '09 - 1:22 AM):

Clipper moving from the Ohio valley to the east coast, will affect the area, by ejecting off the east coast via southern NJ-northern Delmarva during the late night hours of Wednesday the 14th, into the late morning hours of Thursday the 15th.

Moisture (QPF) associated with the clipper, ranges from 0.10 to 0.25, which due to high snow ratios as a result of very cold temperatures in the upper to lower 10's, will result in as much as 6 inches of snow from NE PA to N NJ on to NYC metro, SE NY and Long Island and then into RI, SE Mass and the Cape Code area. Areas to the north and south of the heavier axis of snow, will, possibly, pick up as much as 3 inches of snow.

Blustery conditions will exist, which could lead to the possibility of blizzard-like conditions. Winds could gust as high as 35 MPH and be sustained from 15 to 25 MPH during Thursday. As a result, dangerously cold windchill possibly below 1F and blowing snow may likely cause very problematic conditions for drivers and pedestrians. Make sure to bundle up in layers to be prepared for the harsh conditions that this weather event will bring.

Omega Block Weather will likely issue a Winter Weather Advisory for the forecast area, for as much as 6 inches of snow, any time between the next few hours and Wednesday afternoon. Please stay tuned for further updates.
