Synopsis:
A storm will develop over the Ohio Valley and redevelop along the Mid-Atlantic coast tonight and move offshore Tuesday.
Snow will develop from West to East this evening with rain or a mix to the South. Snow will come down heavy at times later this evening through a few hours after midnight in the areas of the higher two bands (majority of the NYC vicinity). 1″+/hr snow rates are possible in these areas. Once this heavy snow moves through the precipitation will mix with sleet and rain at times overnight closer to the City. The bust zone for accumulations is the Southern most swath. Depending on temperature these amounts could be higher or lower. Since readings will be near freezing the colder surfaces are where the potential totals will be reached.
Light snow, mix or light rain will continue into the first half of Tuesday and then taper off as the storm moves farther offshore. Clouds will hang tough,
The sun will return for a brief break on Wednesday as high pressure says a quick hello.
A weak low will move through the region on Thursday morning with scattered showers. The sun will return with readings well above average- a Spring feel once again for sure.
The next storm is on the map for Friday. The exact track (like always) will determine the type of precipitation. As of this writing the storm will take an inland track-a warm solution. Mainly rain is expected with any mix North and West going over to rain. This system looks to carry with it copious amounts of precipitation into Friday night as a secondary storm develops over our region.
Skies will remaining mostly cloudy on Saturday but it will be rain-free as the system pulls into the Atlantic.
Stay tuned.
Keep it here for a no hype, no nonsense forecast.
