Monday, a disturbance will approach from the west, causing clouds to increase, with snow developing in East Central PA and Central NJ between about 1-2 pm in No Northeastern PA, Northern NJ, NYC, and Western Long Island between about 2 pm and 4 pm, and in Southeastern NY State, Eastern Long Island and Fairfield County, CT, between about 4 pm and 6 pm, then changing to freezing rain in West Central NJ and rain in East Central NJ between about 5 pm and 8 pm, to freezing rain in East Central PA between about 7 pm and 10 pm, to freezing rain in NYC and on Long Island between about 7 pm and 10 pm, changing to freezing rain in Northern NJ between about 7 pm and midnight from south to north, in Southeastern NY State and Fairfield County CT, between about 10 pm and 1 am, and in Northeastern PA between about 2 am Tuesday morning, freezing rain changing to rain on Long Island between about 10 pm and midnight, in West Central NJ and NYC between about 10 pm and 1 am lows in the mid 20’s to low 30’s.  Highs will be in the upper 20’s to mid 30’s, except the upper 30’s to low 40’s along the NJ Coast at night.

Tuesday, the freezing rain will change to rain in far Northeastern NJ near the Hudson River and in Southern Westchester County NY by around 4 am, in East Central PA and the rest of Northeastern NJ by around 8 am, in southern portions of Northwestern NJ between about 8 am and 11 am, in Northeastern PA, far Northwestern Nj, the rest of Southeastern NY State, and in Fairfield County, CT, between about 11 am and 1 pm, although parts of Northeastern PA, far Northwestern NJ, Southeastern NY State, and Fairfield County, CT, may never get above freezing before the precipitation ends in the late afternoon evening.

 1-3 inches possible:  East Central PA, Northern NJ, Rockland and Westchester Counties in NY

 2-4 inches possible:  Northeastern PA, Orange and Putnam Counties in NY, and Fairfield County, CT

Wednesday will be variably cloudy with highs in the mid 20’s to mid 30’s.

Thursday will be variably cloudy with a chance of a snow flurry in the morning, with snow flurries or snow squalls possible in Northeastern PA, as a some Lake Effect moisture may reach our area, then clearing. Highs will be in the mid 20’s to low 30’s.

Friday through next Thursday, December 26th, are then currently looking nice with highs in the low to mid 30’s Friday, the mid 30’s to low 40’s next Saturday, the upper 30’s to mid 40’s next Sunday through Christmas Day, the mid 30’s to mid 40’s next Thursday, and the mid 30’s to low 40’s next Friday.
