Discussion
March is coming in like a lion with overnight accumulating snow and two more storms are on the way. Low pressure is now heading towards the Mid-Atlantic coastline and it is bringing us round one of an extended precipitation event. That same low pressure system will hang around the Mid-Atlantic coastline during the remainder of today and it’ll get energized by early tonight as upper-level energy passes overhead. As a result, after a break for awhile in the precipitation, more rain, sleet and/or snow can fall early tonight and then likely transition to all snow late with additional accumulations of a couple inches possible. Yet another wintry precipitation event is headed to the NYC metro region for later Sunday into early Monday. This next system will have plenty of available moisture; consequently, a lot of potential, but it is unclear as to where the all-important rain/snow line may set up. Rain, sleet and/or snow can break out in the Mid-Atlantic region during the afternoon hours on Sunday and then possibly transition to all snow Sunday night with snow accumulations possible to the north and west of the metro area...stay tuned. All of this will be followed by Arctic cold for the first full week of March.
