Some snow and ice in parts of our area tonight and then warmer with 50’s in parts of our area by afternoon…

Rain will develop tonight between about 1-2 am in Southeastern PA and Southern NJ, with snow developing in East Central PA between about 1-2 am, snow developing between about 2-3 am in Northeastern PA and Northern NJ and ran developing in Central NJ, snow developing in Southeastern NY State and mixed precipitation developing in NYC and on Western Long Island between about 3-4 am, snow developing in Fairfield County, CT, and mixed precipitation developing on Eastern Long Island between about 4-5 am. The snow and mixed precipitation will gradually change to rain from southwest to northeast by between 5 and 10 am, with significant freezing rain and sleet possible in Northeastern PA, and some freezing rain and sleet possible in Northwestern NJ, Southeastern NY State, and Fairfield County, CT, and possibly into Northeastern NJ. The rain will then end between 11 am in East Central PA and 3 pm on Eastern Long Island. Highs will range from the 40’s in Northeastern PA to the mid to upper 50’s in Central NJ.

Monday and Tuesday will then be variably cloudy with a chance of a snow shower or flurry Monday night into Tuesday morning as a cold front passes through our area. Highs Monday will range from the low to mid 40’s in Northeastern PA to the low to mid 50’s in Central NJ, cooling to the 30’s to low 40’s Tuesday.

Wednesday will then be nice with highs in the 40’s inland, but only the upper 30’s along the South Shore of Long Island.

Thursday, clouds will increase, with a chance of a shower in the afternoon or at night as a cold front slowly approaches from the west. Highs will be in the upper 40’s to mid 50’s.

Friday there will be a chance of showers, and possibly a thunderstorm, as a cold front passes through our area. Warm air will surge northward into our area ahead of an approaching cold front, causing high temperatures to reach the 60’s.

Next Saturday, March 16th, will then be nice, but cooler, with highs in the 40’s.

Next Sunday, March 17th, and next Monday, March 18th, will be variably cloudy with a chance of a snow shower or flurry next Sunday night and Monday as some Lake Effect moisture may reach our area. Highs will be in the upper 30’s to mid 40’s.

Next Tuesday, March 19th, clouds will increase as a couple of disturbances may approach our area, one dropping down from Canada and one approaching from the Southeastern United States. Highs will be in the upper 30’s to mid 40’s.

Next Wednesday, March 20th, and into the morning of next Thursday, March 21st, there will be a chance of rain or snow as the two approaching disturbances may develop into a Nor’easter. Highs will be in the low to mid 40’s, unless a Nor’easter develops, in which case temperatures would be cooler.

Next Friday, March 22nd, there will be a chance of rain or snow showers, as the storm pulls away from our area. Highs will be in the mid to upper 40’s.
