| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service New York NY 1235am EST Tuesday Feb 24 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... Gale warnings have been downgraded to SCA (Small Craft Advisory) for the local waters. .KEY MESSAGES... 1) Gusty winds, areas of blowing snow and areas of black ice into Tuesday morning. 2) A passing warm front will bring some light snow and rain on Wednesday. A stronger low passing close by will bring additional wintry precipitation Thursday into Thursday night. .KEY MESSAGE 1... The intense coastal low that has brought 18-30" of snowfall to much of the area today will continue to track northeast through the Canadian Maritimes tonight. Gusts of 25-35 mph will gradually decrease through the overnight, becoming more occasional and closer to 20-25 mph late tonight thru Tuesday aft. These gusty winds will result in areas of blowing snow and locally reduced visibilities overnight into the Tuesday morning commute. Additionally, areas of black ice will be likely across the area tonight, especially on any untreated surfaces, as temperatures drop below freezing again tonight. An SPS highligheights these potentials. .KEY MESSAGE 2... As a clipper low passes to the north on Wednesday, an associated warm front should bring some light snow and rain on Wed. Accumulations should be on the light side, ranging from less than an inch across Long Island, to around an inch in NYC and along the CT coastline, to 1-2 inches north/west of there. A stronger low moving from the OH valley to the lower Great Lakes on Thu could bring more wintry precip. NBM thermal profiles were mainly supportive of snow and/or rain. Any snow amts should be light, no more than an inch or two of snow most places and a light glaze of ice inland NW of NYC. Either way advisories could be needed for parts of the interior north/west of I-287 in NJ/NY and along the I-84 corridor in CT. High temperatures Tuesday range from the upper 20s to lower 30s, then trend closer to normal the rest of the week. This will allow for gradual snow melt each day, and with mostly sub-freezing temperatures at night into early morning, subsequent re-freeze of snow melt. Marine Intense low pressure will track northeast along the Canadian Maritimes tonight. Marginal gale gusts will continue to gradually dissipate overnight. Seas of 10-15 feet will steadily subside tonight into Tuesday morning. Marginal SCA (Small Craft Advisory) gusts linger into early Tuesday afternoon on the nearshore waters, with gusts up to 30 kt and seas 5-8 ft on the ocean through the afternoon. Conds on the ocean may briefly fall below SCA (Small Craft Advisory) Tuesday eve, before increasing once again late Tuesday Night ahead of approaching low pressure. An extended period of SCA (Small Craft Advisory) cond then likely on the ocean from Wednesday into Fri as a series of frontal systems pass through, mainly for hazardous seas. SW flow 20-25 kt expected on the ocean with warm frontal approaches daytime Wednesday and again Thu night. NOAA New York NY Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories CT...None. NY...None. NJ...None.
