Synopsis:
Cold high pressure will move from the Midwest to the East coast through Friday. It’ll be much colder tonight and Friday with a gusty wind adding a bit.
A warm from will head our way on Saturday. Clouds will thicken and a mix of snow, sleet and rain is possible during the afternoon. A couple of inches of snow is possible Saturday evening over the Northern half of the tri-state area. The snow will turn to rain along the coast early Saturday night as the warm front nears. Sleet or freezing rain is possible North and West for a time before the changeover to rain late.
On and off rain is likely Sunday as the low moves into the Northeast. It’ll be milder on Sunday with readings reaching the mid and upper 40s.
Much colder conditions are expected for Presidents’ Day and Tuesday as a dominant Northwest flow from Canada takes hold. At least the sun will be shining.
There already is chatter about a storm for 2/20. Many of the computer models do have low pressure somewhere along or off the East coast on this date. The track is anybody’s guess right now. Please don’t get dragged into the hype.
Stay tuned.
