Waves of snow, sleet, freezing rain, and eventually the rain will continue to work through the region through the President's Day Weekend with icy roadways a concern.

 

An area of low pressure will lift through the region today through tomorrow morning with periods of light snow initially this afternoon rapidly changing over to sleet and freezing rain for much of the region this evening.  The sleet and freezing rain will be heavy at times, but there will be breaks of a very light wintry mix as well.  Remember, unlike snowfall, you don't need a lot of freezing rain to cause hazardous conditions.  Please use caution while driving this evening through tomorrow morning.  Winds will be from the northeast at 5 to 15 mph.  Temperatures will rise into the lower to mid-20s over the interior and upper 20s to mid-30s along the coast.

 

The low-pressure system will exit tomorrow morning with lingering widely scattered to isolated snow, sleet, and freezing rain showers through tomorrow afternoon.  I should note, the weather will be a perfect reason to stay in for a nice Valentine's celebration or a reason to eat a ton of chocolate for yourself.  I've done both before.  Winds will be from the northeast at 5 to 15 mph.  Temperatures will range from the lower to mid-20s over the interior and upper 20s to lower 30s along the coast for lows and lower to mid-30s for highs.

Another area of low pressure will approach on President's Day with increasing clouds and a wintry mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain developing in the evening.  Winds will be from the north at 5 to 15 mph.  Temperatures will range from the lower to mid-10s over the interior, upper 10s to mid-20s in the suburbs, and mid to upper 20s along the coast for lows and mid to upper 20s over the interior and lower to mid-30s along the coast for highs.

 

An area of low pressure will produce periods of snow over the interior, a wintry mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain in the suburbs and along I-95, and a mix over of snow to rain along the immediate coast on Tuesday.  Icy conditions are expected along and north of I-95 while snow accumulation over 4" will be possible in the Poconos and Catskills.  Temperatures on Tuesday will range from the mid-20s to lower 30s for lows and mid-30s over the interior, mid to upper 30s along I-95, and upper 30s to mid-40s along the coast.

 

High pressure will be in control on Wednesday with clear skies to scattered clouds.  Temperatures on Wednesday will range from the lower to mid-10s over the interior and upper 10s to lower 20s along the coast for lows and lower to mid-20s over the interior and upper 20s to lower 30s along the coast for highs.

 

Another area of low pressure will approach on Thursday afternoon through Friday with snow over the interior, a wintery mix in the suburbs and along I-95, and a mix over to rain along the immediate coast.  Temperatures on Thursday will range from the mid-10s to lower 20s over the interior and lower to mid-20s along the coast for lows and mid to upper 20s over the interior, lower to mid-30s along I-95, and upper 30s to mid-40s along the coast for highs.  Temperatures on Friday will fall through the 40s, 30, and 20s as the storm leaves.

 

High pressure will produce scattered clouds on Saturday.  Temperatures on Saturday will range from the single digits to mid-10s over the interior and upper 10s to lower 20s along the coast for lows and mid-20s to lower 30s for highs.
