    Blizzard Watch for Long Island, Winter Storm Watch in NYC

    ...POTENTIAL WINTER STORM FOR THE WEEKEND...

    .LOW PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHERN GULF COAST WILL TRACK TO NEAR CAPE
    HATTERAS SATURDAY MORNING...THEN DEEPEN AS IT TRACKS TO THE
    NORTHEAST OVER THE ATLANTIC SATURDAY NIGHT. THE INTENSE LOW WILL
    PRODUCE A SWATH OF HEAVY SNOWFALL...AS WELL AS A CORRIDOR OF HIGH
    WINDS. AT THIS TIME...THE EXACT TRACK OF THE SYSTEM IS STILL
    UNCERTAIN. A DIFFERENCE OF ONLY 100 MILES WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT
    IMPACT ON THE WEATHER ACROSS THE REGION.

    ...BLIZZARD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY
    MORNING...

    THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN UPTON HAS ISSUED A BLIZZARD
    WATCH...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY
    MORNING.
    DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE OVER THE ATLANTIC SATURDAY AND SATURDAY
    NIGHT WILL RESULT IN THE POTENTIAL FOR A PERIOD OF HEAVY SNOW AND
    HIGH WINDS ACROSS LONG ISLAND. SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS OF 6 TO 12
    INCHES WITH WIND GUSTS OF UP TO 50 MPH ARE POSSIBLE.
    IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE EXACT TRACK OF THIS SYSTEM IS
    STILL UNCERTAIN. A GLANCING BLOW WITH LESS SNOW AND LIGHTER WINDS
    REMAINS A POSSIBILITY.

    Instructions: A BLIZZARD WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR FALLING AND/OR BLOWING SNOW WITH STRONG WINDS AND EXTREMELY POOR VISIBILITIES. THIS CAN LEAD TO WHITEOUT CONDITIONS AND MAKE TRAVEL VERY DANGEROUS.
    Target Area:
    Nassau
    Northwest Suffolk
    Northeast Suffolk
    Southwest Suffolk
    Southeast Suffolk
    DC, Philly and Baltimore already have Winter Storm warnings.

    I'm so glad I am leaving later this year. This is going to be ugly. Glad I am not going to be anywhere near the roads.

    This will be y first snow on my new block, and my chit-chat with the neighbors earlier showed how they are dreading it. I'm always excited about the first snow, and I'm looking forward to helping them shovel.
