You know what they say about March rolling in like a lion.
A powerful nor'easter has its sights on the tri-state to close out the workweek, threatening to dump heavy rains across the region that could even cause flooding inland, according to Storm Team 4.
Damaging winds will also be a factor, and suburbs to the north and west of the city could see a messy mix of rain transition to snow as the storm system hovers over the region for a roughly 36-hour period.
Storm Team 4 says the weather system will develop over the southern U.S. over the next few days before heading to the tri-state area. While a few places well to the north and west of the city could encounter a few lighter could possibly encounter showers Wednesday night, most of the area will remain dry heading into Thursday, Storm Team 4 says. Thursday is expected to be mostly dry until late in the afternoon as showers move in and temps trend cooler.
Friday is expected to be the nastiest day, with Storm Team 4 predicting intense winds, showers and periods of heavy rain, along with that wintry mix mucking up spots to the north and west of the city.
At this point, Storm Team 4 says the main threats are coastal and inland flooding and wind gusts that could potentially take down tree limbs or power lines.
Rain showers or snowflakes could linger into the early part of Saturday, Storm Team 4 says, but the skies are expected to clear up by Sunday. Temps stay cooler, in the mid-40s, into the early part of next week.
