Synopsis:
Tonight low pressure will be developing over the central Appalachians. This system will intensify and move rapidly off our coast by Friday morning. A period of snow is likely tonight into Friday morning. The latest computer models have been fairly consistent in their solutions. A 3″-5″ snowfall is likely for much of the region. The jackpot zone looks to be Eastern Long Island and Ocean county where some regions may exceed 5″. The lighter amounts will be to the North and West as this region won’t get into the moderate snow. The snow will begin between 2-4 am and taper off from West to East mid-morning to mid-day. The sun will return and it’ll be blustery.
Behind this system bright but cold conditions are expected for Saturday as high pressure moves in from Canada.
Low pressure and a front will move into the region on Sunday. It’ll be milder so this will predominately be a rain event.
An Arctic blast is on the way for the beginning of next week. Readings will fall to around freezing on Monday for highs and not get out of the mid 20s on Tuesday. High pressure to our West will funnel in the coldest air of the season so far from our Canadian friends. At least the sun will shine!
