Discussion
Low pressure will intensify over the Lower Mississippi Valley on Monday with a cold air mass in place across the Mid-Atlantic and NE US. This system has generated a west-to-east swath of precipitation that will likely only skirt the NYC metro on its north side during much of the day before more substantial precipitation arrives tonight. With the cold air in place, any precipitation today will be in the form of snow followed by a mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain tonight with small accumulations of up to a couple of inches. There can be some impact on road conditions tonight; especially, in the northern and western suburbs of the NYC metro area. Temperatures will have a hard time rising above the freezing mark and any changeover to later rain tonight will likely still result in some icing as temperatures hover near the freezing mark. Occasional 'plain' rain is likely on Tuesday before the passage of a cold frontal system that will shut off the precipitation. It'll stay cold behind the storm on Wednesday and an even colder air mass may arrive on Thursday.
