Weather It Is (Winter Fights Back -- Harder)

Good Afternoon:

While it may not be today's snow in NY (unless you live on the higher elevations of the Golan), it will be quite chilly, and a showery cold rain will extenuate the chill.

The cold air is courtesy of a low pressure area moving across the Mediterranean near Cyprus. It will remain generally uncoupled from the northern Jet stream, where much colder air resides.  Still enough cold air will leak down to really chill things off -- especially for the first few days of spring!

Temperatures in the higher elevations will have single digit lows by Sunday morning, and a light snow is expected in the Golan.  There will also be strong winds with higher gusts late this afternoon and again late tomorrow afternoon as well.

Next week will see a warm up ahead of the next system.  However, this is not a Sharav (a low pressure area moving across the southern Mediterranean and then up the coast), but another more winter like system.  This one has the possibility of bringing a heavier rain about 8 to 10 days out.

Looking out towards two weeks: we don't see any sign of spring.

Shabbat Shalom,
