Omega Block Winter Storm Watch

****Omega Block Weather has issued a winter weather watch for the NYC metro area and its immediate counties in southeast New York State, which include, Westchester, Putnam and Rockland counties.****

A pontential snowstorm of 6+ inches seems likely to affect the area starting late friday and lasting into sunday morning night. Plowable snowfall is likely and travel conditions will be problematic.

Latest model guidance, with exception to the ECMWF, which has been considered the outlier and not used into the blend by the HPC, show good consistency and agreement concerning the winter storm for the area this weekend, which now is likely. Therefore, Omega Block Weather has issued a Winter Storm Watch for the above mentioned counties and the NYC metro area. The metro area could see accumulations exceeding 6 inches, however at this point and time, it's not set in stone. So, further info and analysis will be done over the next 12 hours or so. A Winter Storm Warning will most likely be issued by Omega Block Weather, sometime friday afternoon for the same aforementioned areas.

Travel conditions will be impacted and delays will likely result. Please avoid stay driving if possible.

Please stay tuned for further updates, as this potential winter weather event nears.
