Synopsis:.
A low will move from the Tennessee Valley to just South of our area Tonight and Tuesday. Precipitation will develop this evening. Most areas will experience a thump of snow or sleet. To the South over parts of central and Southern NJ rain is expected. A coating to two inches of snow and sleet is possible in the immediate NYC area overnight before the change to rain overnight. North and West it will snow longer. 2″-4″ of snow is possible by morning.
There is a concern for a prolonged period of sleet and freezing rain inland. Up to a quarter inch of glaze is possible overnight into Tuesday with isolated 1/2″ glaze amounts. Ice accumulation of this magnitude may cause scattered power outages and downed tree limbs. Please use caution.
The low will move off the coast on Tuesday. Sleet and freezing rain just inland and rain along the coast will continue. The precipitation will taper off during the afternoon.
Wednesday we’ll dry out under a mix of clouds and sun. It will turn dramatically colder during the afternoon as Arctic air moves in.
Thursday will be very cold with highs below freezing as the cold high move toward the area. Friday will be bright and cold with readings near freezing.
Readings will moderate to near seasonal averages on Saturday along with mainly sunny skies.
