Synopsis:
Today will be seasonal. We’ll be in between systems. Sun will give way to late day clouds.
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 slowed the storms movement slightly and has the low a bit closer to the coast. This translates to an increase in potential snow amounts. The 2nd call map above is showing a general 3″-5″ of snow for much of the region. The jackpot zone looks to be Eastern Long Island and Ocean county where some region may exceed 5″. 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.
Seasonal sun is expected for Monday as a vast area of high pressure encompasses the Eastern one half of the country.
