ITHACA, NY- For those waiting for a delicious warm-up after those last days of bloodless freezing, I’m sorry. A giant and sturdy typhoon formula will become a tough Nor’Easter from night to Tuesday, resulting in heavy snowfall and interruptions. A winter typhoon alert was issued through Binghamton’s National Weather Service workplace until Tuesday afternoon.

In relation to the climate, this type of occasion is known as Nor’Easter “Miller Type B”. This means that a low-pressure typhoon in the middle of the Ohio River Valley is moving east toward the Appalachian and its flow is crushed at the top of the ground. , its counterclockwise flow is based on the Gulf Stream and is helping to evoke a moment in the middle of the typhoon over the Atlantic, moving its energy to this typhoon and rising up the coast in a northeasterly direction.

What this means in terms of weather is a double chance for Tompkins County, with a lot of uncertainty still in the equation: The first circular will consist of light to moderate snowfalls that will spread through Pennsylvania and the southern level this afternoon and persist on Monday. in the morning. From this turn, wait no more than 2-3 inches. The fact is, this incredibly bloodless air at altitude (the airport hit -4 F this morning) is also very dry, gnawing on the edge of the typhoon like a sponge and limiting the progression of snow. There will likely be a network break somewhere in central New York between snow-covered spaces and spaces that get nothing because the frigid air has dried the edges of the typhoon. In the upper 1920s today with a southerly direction before the depression and falling in the 20’s decline at night, no ice accumulation is expected.

The circular moment takes place from Monday night until Tuesday night, when a thicker snow strip turns northwest in the area. It is expected to be the hardest component. As the new typhoon develops, the ocean air that envelops its flow will be wet enough to overwhelm the remaining dry arctic air. At this point, the query is more about the typhoon’s precise trajectory: the more it moves west and north, the more likely it is that Ithaca and Tompkins County will be maximum for significant, heavy snow. Right now, the consensus is 6-8″ from Monday night until dawn on Wednesday. However, the rainfall totals modeled are everywhere. There is a 10% chance that it will be four inches or less for this entire typhoon event, and there is a 10% chance that it will exceed 18 inches. This will feature the presence of the intense maximum snow strip from Monday to Tuesday and the duration of its persistence.

The biggest effects here will be due to this denser snow strip stretching from Monday night to Tuesday. This first circular of today and at night is the kind of thing that your local road branch can adhere to and plow without too much trouble; Here applies the same old recommendation to drive with caution and pay attention to slippery roads. The moment the wave is where the threat is located. If a high-end solution begins to become a reality, the primary effects on travel are most likely unfairly driving in the hills and complicated journeys on any untreated road. Temperatures will remain higher in the 1920s the period, the most sensitive 20 a day and the 20th drop at night.

While there is uncertainty about whether we will see a mild or larger occasion along major cities in the northeast and central Atlantic, it is expected to be a major problem. It is strongly discouraged to travel to New York, Philadelphia and Washington DC on Mondays and Tuesdays as heavy snowfall (and in the case of DC, probably some ice accumulation) will pose harmful conditions, even if allowed from airports and along primary roads. Strong winds of more than 50 mph are also expected along the coast closer to half of the coastal typhoon as it develops.
