Latest Forecast From Storm Team 4
Snow squalls are fast-moving, intense weather systems. They move through quickly but can cause strong winds and poor visibility.
If you’re caught in a snow squall, the National Weather service recommends reducing your speed, making sure your headlights are on, using extra cautions and allowing extra time.
We’ll continue to see occasional rain and snow showers throughout the day, but most will be on the lighter side.
Winds will continue to increase through midday and afternoon today. Gusts up to 50mph are possible. Wind advisories are in in effect for the tri-state until 10 p.m. The advisory includes portions of southern Connecticut, northeast New Jersey and southeast New York.
It stays breezy and cold tomorrow with winds easing a bit into Saturday.
By Sunday, temps start the turnaround and continue to warm into early next week.
The milder air ensures the next few systems are all rain. Temps dip once more towards the end of next week, back into the 40s.
