Polar vortex may bring historic May snowstorm to area, record low temps to
NYC
A polar vortex is sweeping into the Northeast this weekend, and it could
bring the Albany region its first measurable May snowfall in 18 years — and
potentially record low temperatures to the Big Apple, forecasters predict.
The wintry air mass is expected to send a chill through the region beginning
on Friday, according to the Albany branch of the National Weather Service.
“We continue to closely watch a storm for Friday afternoon into Friday
night that may bring a period of snow to most of eastern NY and western New
England,” the weather service posted to Facebook.
Albany itself may not see more than an inch, but the higher terrain
surrounding the city could be more heavily hit, according to AccuWeather
meteorologist Tom Kines.
The Catskill Mountains can also expect some snowfall, but the heaviest
accumulation — between 6 and 12 inches — is predicted for New Hampshire
and Vermont, especially the Green and White mountains, as well as Maine,
Kines said.
“This weather pattern is certainly more typical of winter than May,” the
meteorologist said. “This air mass is coming from the polar regions far up
in northern Canada and the temperatures way up there had been single digits
and below zero.” |
