Steadier snow is expected east over the higher elevations as a coastal storm strengthens and tries to back inland.
It’s much colder this morning as temperatures have plunged closer to freezing.
What a beautiful middle part of the day! Temperatures are near 60 degrees with plenty of sunshine around. However, these conditions won’t last long with winds that could gust to 40 or 45 mph this afternoon, followed by a big drop in temperature tonight.
Multiple waves of showers are expected today, with one this afternoon and a heavier batch later tonight. While severe weather is not expected, thunder and small hail are possible, especially after midnight. A Flood Watch is in effect through Friday afternoon for the potential of river ice jams.
Light, steady rain will move into the area after 7 or 8 a.m., especially areas south of I-80, as an area of low pressure passes by.
Sunday’s system has trended further north with light rain expected to reach as far north as Route 422 during the afternoon.
Enjoy the sunshine today as temperatures rebound above freezing. With a few clouds around tonight and a light southwest breeze, it won’t turn as cold as this morning, with mid to upper 20s more common Saturday morning.
Clouds and a westerly breeze will prevail this afternoon as temperatures remain stuck in the 20s across most neighborhoods. High pressure will settle overhead tonight, allowing for calmer conditions and at least partial clearing. It will turn very cold with lows dipping into the teens.
Temperatures are expected to recover closer to 20 degrees this afternoon, which is about 5 degrees warmer than yesterday but still well below average for what is now almost mid-February.
Are you tired of it? The bitter cold is back with wind chills between -10 and -20 across much of the area this morning.
