Synopsis:
A significant rain event is on the way as low pressure from the midwest moves over the tri-state area later tonight through Saturday morning. The potential is there for a mix well to the North at times during this event. Just enough cold air will be present to cause light accumulations of ice and snow over parts of the Poconos, Catskills and Interior CT.
The rain will be scattered and light overnight. As the storm strengthens and approaches later Friday afternoon and night heavy rain is likely.
The rain should taper off Saturday morning. By this time, possible total rain amounts could reach 1″-3″ (map above). The sun should make an appearance later in the day. Sunday will be the better half of the weekend with plenty of sunshine and seasonal readings.
The pattern is very active and another storm will approach the area Tuesday.
Stay Tuned.
