Discussion              

Low pressure will form later today near the Mid-Atlantic coastline and then intensify later tonight as it pushes to the northeast over the western Atlantic Ocean.  Rain will likely develop here by late in the afternoon and continue tonight moderate-to-heavy at times.  It may just cold enough for snowflakes to mix in at times tonight across some of Philly’s far northern and western suburbs and certainly some accumulating snow is a good bet across the Lehigh Valley and Poconos. After the departure of the low on Wednesday, high pressure will build back into the region as a reinforcing cold air mass moves in from the northwest. In fact, high temperatures at the end of the week are likely to struggle to reach the 40 degree mark which is well below-normal for mid-November.
