Discussion

Low pressure to our north will produce some accumulating snow in the morning of up to a couple of inches and then a mix of rain and snow is likely around mid-day…precipitation winds down in the early-to-mid afternoon hours. After clearing skies tonight, the mid-week looks to be dry and chilly in the NYC metro region and then there can be a touch of light precipitation on Thursday, Christmas Day, from another “clipper” system that moves from northwest-to-southeast. A more impactful low pressure is likely here at the end of the week with significant snow and/or ice on the table as strong high pressure positioned to our north acts as a source of cold air for the northeastern states.
