YESTERDAY’S HIGH: 33 LOW: 23 PRECIPITATION: .65″ SNOWFALL: 7.0″

The system that gave us 7 inches of snow yesterday has moved well out into the Atlantic as cold high pressure builds from the Midwest states. Today will be a partly sunny and cold day with most temperatures staying below freezing, however the winds will be light so it won’t feel as cold as it could.

A weak frontal system will affect our area on Tuesday with light snow mainly from daybreak to the early afternoon, accumulations should range between 1-3 inches.

Wednesday will be a dry day but with continued cold temperatures.

The next chance of snow will be Thursday into Friday. At this time it does not appear that it will be a major storm but we could again have some snow accumulations.

Cold weather will continue into the weekend and there is some indications of a possible storm on Sunday but at this time it is only a slight chance.

A quick moving storm is developing off the Carolina coast and will move rapidly to southeast of Long Island by later today, snow from this system should begin by 8 a.m. and end around 4 p.m. The latest models have the storm a little further east than what was indicated yesterday so snow amounts should be a little lower with 3-6 inches expected, less inland and more along coastal areas to our east.

The next system on Tuesday looks to give us more mainly light precipitation in the form of snow and sleet that may change to plain rain in the afternoon. A couple inches of frozen precipitation is possible.

Low pressure is expected to form off the Carolina coast and move southeast of Long Island by Sunday night.

Monday high pressure will give us a sunny but cold day with highs staying below freezing.

A frontal system on Tuesday will give us a good chance of snow or rain.

Quite cold Wednesday into next weekend and there are some indications that another storm may affect the area towards the end of next week but at this time there is only a slight chance of more snow but that could change and again a system to watch.
