Discussion
There will be a couple of storms to deal with over the next several days with the first one becoming predominately a plain rain event. However, there can be an initial burst of light precipitation as early as tomorrow morning and it could be cold enough for some freezing rain and/or ice pellets. A second storm 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 middle 30’s this afternoon and the normal high for this date is 46 degrees (at Philly Airport). Low pressure will form quickly in the southeast US on Friday and it’ll ride right up the coast impacting us from tomorrow well into the day on Saturday. 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 should have enough cold air around to produce some snow and/or ice in the region - at least at the onset.
