Residents of Central New York should prepare for a cold snap as temperatures are expected to drop significantly over the weekend. According to forecasters, temperatures might not reach 25 degrees on Saturday (December 21), and Sunday could be even colder. Additionally, snow is anticipated to start tonight, with most areas likely to receive one to two inches of accumulation before the storm system moves out.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has released its winter outlook, predicting a slowly developing La Niña that could influence weather patterns across the country. For Central New York, this means potential fluctuations in temperature and precipitation throughout the winter months. NOAA's outlook suggests wetter-than-average conditions for the Great Lakes region, which includes parts of New York.
As the cold weather approaches, residents are advised to stay updated on the latest forecasts and warnings by listening to NewsRadio 570 WSYR . This cold spell is part of a broader pattern expected to affect much of the northern United States, with varying impacts due to La Niña conditions.
