Synopsis:
Low pressure will develop over the Delmarva Peninsula this morning and then move up and off Eastern Long Island by late tonight. Rain will continue on and off today. It’ll be windy along the coast. Northeast winds could gust up to 45mph especially for the first half of the day as the storm deepens.
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. By late today through tonight the atmosphere will be getting colder as an upper level low moves just to our South. If the conditions are just right an accumulation of snow and sleet is possible inland (especially over the higher elevations) possible accumulation map above. The HHRR model shows the snow in blue over Northwestern NJ and into Orange County. This is the most aggressive of all the models. In any case know the possibility of a light accumulation does exist. Please don’t let your guard down in these areas.
The precipitation will end overnight. Icy conditions are possible in areas that hover around freezing through the Monday morning commute.
Looking down the pike, a cool down is expected by Tuesday, no major storms are expected through Thursday. The next weather maker moves in on Thursday night and Friday at this time it looks to pass to our West. This is a mild scenario meaning rain and not snow. Still several days to watch it pan out.
You know where to find a no hype, no nonsense forecast.
Stay tuned.
