Discussion

The “clipper” low pressure system has pulled off the New Jersey coastline and there should be some sunshine around here today with temperatures climbing to above-freezing levels, but snow flurries are possible during the mid-day and afternoon hours.  It'll turn quite cold again tonight with overnight lows in the lower 20's as skies remain mainly cloudy. Another low pressure system will try to form along the Mid-Atlantic coastline later tomorrow and we'll have to see if it can strengthen in time to impact the region. High pressure will return to the Mid-Atlantic region for the upcoming weekend.
