Discussion
Much milder weather is in store for the region during the second half of the week, but the transition from the current cold conditions may be accompanied by some frozen precipitation later today; especially, in the northern and western suburbs of the NYC metro region before an eventual changeover tonight to plain rain. Snow or sleet could arrive this afternoon and then any wintry mix should change to plain rain in the overnight hours. There can be a small accumulation of snow and/or ice before the changeover. The milder air will finally win out on Wednesday and temperatures could reach the 50 degree mark for highs. By Thursday, temperatures are likely jump well up into the 50’s as a strong southwest wind develops and the mild weather should last right into Friday. After that; however, strong Arctic high pressure will build to our north this weekend and this will lead to much colder conditions again and perhaps even a period of ice or snow as moisture heads our way from the Midwest.
