Discussion              

A potent storm system will push out of the Tennessee Valley later today and up the Appalachians before transferring to an intensifying coastal storm by later tonight. Rain will overspread the region this evening and then likely mix with sleet and then change over to snow by morning and continue as snow or a mix of snow and sleet on Tuesday morning. Accumulations are likely to be in the 2-5 inch range with the higher amounts across the far northern suburbs (e.g., Upper Bucks) and there can be an impact in some areas on the Tuesday AM commute. High pressure returns for the mid-week time frame with breezy and cold conditions.
