AccuWeather: New round of snow squalls to hit Northeast hard and fast
New round of snow squalls to hit Northeast hard and fast
Motorists venturing on high-speed highways, especially from northern and western Pennsylvania to upstate New York and New England, should stay alert for rapidly changing weather conditions where the visibility can drop from unrestricted to a few hundred feet or less in a matter of seconds. Interstate highways at greatest risk for these conditions from Sunday afternoon to Sunday evening include 79, 80, 81, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91 and part of 95.
AccuWeather Global Weather Center – February 24, 2022 – A fresh wave of Arctic air is poised to dip southward later this weekend, and that will trigger a new eruption of dangerous snow squalls for part of the Northeast, AccuWeather
The cold air will rush in behind a potent winter storm that is forecast to unload heavy snow across the northern tier of the Northeast and a wintry mix and rain to parts of the mid-Atlantic on Friday.
Temperatures have certainly had their ups and downs from one day to the next in the Northeast since last week, and that trend is likely to continue as February winds down. For example, in New York City, high temperatures over the past couple of weeks have ranged from 59 degrees Fahrenheit on Feb. 12, to 25 F on Feb. 14, 68 on Feb. 17, 36 on Feb. 20 and 68 on Feb. 23.
The temperature volatility can turn up the intensity of precipitation when a simple cold front comes calling, which is what is forecast to happen on Sunday.
A pocket of dry and cold air will settle over the region on Saturday. The relatively tranquil weather should offer better travel conditions in the wake of the multi-faceted winter storm and will aid crews across upstate New York and New England in clearing roads of heavy snowfall.
