Discussion

A deep upper-level trough continues to sit and spin over the Northeast US and another wave of energy will rotate through today causing more instability in our area. As a result, the breeze will remain quite noticeable and there can be a few PM rain and/or snow showers. It’ll turn a bit colder in the overnight hours and temperatures on Friday are likely to hold in the lower 40's for afternoon highs. After a relatively quiet weekend, another storm will have to be monitored as it crosses the country. As we begin the new week, low pressure will be headed towards the Ohio Valley from the middle of the country. It is likely to spin off a secondary low pressure off the Mid-Atlantic coastline which will likely become a slow-mover and this could produce rain, ice and/or snow in our region from late Monday night into Wednesday.
