Discussion

Low pressure will spin around today off the Mid-Atlantic coastline and this will allow colder air will wrap into the system and push well to the south and east. As a result, any rain or wintry mix around here early today will change over to snow and the snow is likely to continue at varying rates into the overnight hours. One thing we'll have to watch for with this system are small-scale bands of heavy snowfall that are likely to form and any of these can generate much higher localized amounts. There may be quite a sharp gradient of snowfall totals from the metro area to the far northern and western suburbs with 3-6 inches in the metro region by late tonight and 6+ inches in the Lower Hudson Valley (NY) and interior sections of northern NJ. The weather calms down on Tuesday and remains relatively quiet for much of the remainder of the week and moderately cold for the beginning of December.
