Discussion
Low pressure will move from southwest-to-northeast today parallel to Route I-95 and this will allow for some milder air to push in from off the ocean changing any frozen precipitation this morning to plain rain for the afternoon hours. Before the changeover takes place, there can be small snow/ice accumulations on the order of an inch or less with the greatest probability to the north and west of the metro area. After the rain winds down tonight, temperatures will drop well down in the 20’s and black ice can form in the wee hours of the morning on untreated surfaces. Thursday promises to be a cold, breezy and cold day with temperatures struggling to pass the 30 degree mark for the Eagles championship parade.
