Discussion
A strong cold front will approach the region on Friday and a strong storm will form along the advancing frontal boundary zone in the Ohio Valley. Ahead of the front, our temperatures should climb into the 50's this afternoon and then into the 60’s around here on Friday. Many parts of the Ohio Valley are likely to receive significant snow and ice from this storm that will slide just to our northwest late Friday night. Soaking rain will accompany this late week warm up in the I-95 corridor and it looks like the rain will tend to be concentrated in two separate time periods: later tonight/early Friday and tomorrow night/early Saturday. After the front passes through the region early Saturday, the precipitation will wind down – perhaps mixing with or changing to sleet and/or snow before ending; especially, in the northern and western suburbs. In fact, accumulating snow is likely early Saturday across northeastern PA and upstate NY as the Arctic air arrives. By Sunday, Arctic air will be fully in control and our temperatures will struggle to reach the 30 degree mark for highs. It’ll stay quite cold through the early part of next week and accumulating snow is possible by later Tuesday or Wednesday as a reinforcing shot of Arctic air arrives in the eastern US.
