The weather pattern continues, and as expected, more snow is on the way for parts of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast from tomorrow through early Wednesday. Another system is following closely behind, bringing snow that will transition into rain across sections of the Northeast.
The first concern is a round of heavy snowfall expected across parts of Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey. Some areas will see more than 6 inches of snow, particularly northern Virginia, most of Maryland and Delaware, and extreme southern New Jersey. After this period of snowfall, freezing rain is expected. Due to these conditions, the National Weather Service has issued Winter Storm Watches and Warnings for these regions, lasting until midday Wednesday.
Further south, in northern sections of North Carolina, snow, sleet, and freezing rain will fall before turning into rain. On the northern edge of this system, snowfall accumulations will be lighter, affecting areas like New York City and Long Island. A coating to 2 inches of snow is expected before the system moves out early Wednesday morning.
For the NYC Metro area, today will be cold with a mix of sun and clouds, with high temperatures in the mid-30s. Tomorrow, after some morning sunshine, clouds will increase, leading to a chance of light snow late in the day. Snowfall is more likely overnight, with temperatures in the 20s allowing snow to accumulate easily.
Light snow should wrap up just before or after sunrise on Wednesday, leaving behind a coating to 2 inches of accumulation. However, another round of light snow will develop late Wednesday as the next system moves in. This second system will place the region in its warmer sector, causing snow to transition into sleet and rain overnight as temperatures rise.
Thursday will bring a steady cold rain, making for a raw and damp day with highs near 40 degrees. By Friday, sunshine will return, but temperatures will remain in the mid-30s.
