Synopsis:
A strong upper level low will spawn two areas of low pressure this weekend. Today will not be a washout. In fact, most of the light rain from early this morning has tapered off. Low pressure #1 will move off the Virginia coast by midday. Areas of light rain will be confined to Southern NJ through the afternoon. Elsewhere the majority of the day will be dry. The sun may make an appearance North of the City. It’ll be mild.
Low pressure #2 will develop under the upper level low and move off the Maryland coast then up off Eastern Long Island on Sunday and Sunday night. This is much closer than previous model runs. Also the upper level low is more vigorous and closer to the tri-state area. What does all of this mean? Rain will develop late tonight into early Sunday morning. The potential is now there for it to be marginally cold enough for a mix of wet snow, sleet and freezing rain well inland during the day Sunday. If the conditions are just right an accumulation of snow and sleet is possible inland and possibly toward the nearby suburbs of NYC by dark. As of this writing, I’m calling for rain along the coast and in the City. Please check back frequently as this forecast will most likely change over the next 24 hours.
Looking down the pike, a cool down is expected by Tuesday, no major storms are expected through Thursday.
You know where to find a no hype, no nonsense forecast.
Stay tuned.
