Discussion
There will be a couple of storms to deal with over the next several days with the first one predominately a rain event, but the second one can bring some snow and/or ice to the region early next week. High pressure will stay in control of our weather today providing us with some sunshine, but it’ll be quite cold for this time of year. Temperatures will only manage to climb into the mid 30’s this afternoon and the normal high for this date is 44 degrees (at Central Park). Low pressure will form quickly in the southeast US on Friday and it’ll bring us a soaking rain event from later tomorrow through much of Saturday. There can be some freezing rain and/or ice pellets mixed in at times during the day on Friday as the next storm gets underway. High pressure will return for the second half of the weekend, but it’ll be quite breezy and cold on Sunday. Another storm is likely to impact the region from later Monday into Tuesday and this one could have enough cold air around to produce some snow and/or ice in the region.
