Discussion
Low pressure will pull out of the Tennessee Valley early today and head towards the coastal waters of New Jersey by early tonight. Snow or a mix of rain and snow is likely to develop here during the late-afternoon hours and then primarily snow should fall during the evening. Accumulations of a coating to an inch or two are possible for the NYC metro region with higher amounts to the southwest. The low will push away from the Mid-Atlantic coastline later tonight and another cold air mass will follow on Wednesday riding in on strong NW winds. Snow showers are likely on Wednesday in the Mid-Atlantic and there can even be a few heavier snow squalls. It stays cold on Thursday, but the winds die down and then a warm up begins at the end of the week. In fact, temperatures could reach the 60 degree mark on Saturday afternoon and it’s likely to rain for awhile before cooler, drier air returns late in the weekend.
