Synopsis:
A significant rain event is underway as low pressure from the midwest moves over the tri-state area today 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 sleet, freezing rain and possibly some snow over parts of the Poconos, Catskills and Interior CT. There will be dry times this morning. The rain will become steadier and heavier later today and tonight as the storm strengthens. A flood watch is up for parts of New Jersey through Saturday Morning.
The rain will taper off Saturday morning. By this time, possible total rain amounts could reach 1″-3″ (map above). The sun could 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.
