Today is cold and these northwest winds will make it feel even colder. The surface chart shows the East Coast storm pushing out into the Atlantic, with a trough attached to the upper level-low (2nd half of the system) moving across the region, with the trough will be the chance for a few snow showers, some of these could become moderately heavy for a short time, Southern areas could see a dusting to maybe an inch in some spots. With northern areas especially in the higher elevations (Catskills, Adirondacks, Greens, and Whites) seeing more in the way of a widespread 1-2 inches.

Tonight, will see the risk for these isolated snow showers to continue along with cold temperatures, but not as cold as last night. Tomorrow will see high pressure overhead, allowing for more sun and temperatures starting to warm; most of Saturday is looking to be dry for most of us, but a weak disturbance will bring the chance for some light snow over northern areas and isolated rain showers for southern areas Saturday night into Sunday. Sunday will see the warming trend continue.

For next week, warming temperatures continue, Then Monday night and Tuesday a disturbance with a weak cold front will move through, with the warm temperatures, Pennsylvania, Maryland Delaware, New Jersey, much of New York State, and Southern New England will see rain showers, far northern New York State, and northern New England will likely see some snow/mix showers, while far northern New Hampshire and northern and Central Maine see some accumulating snow, with a mix closer to the Coast.  For Thursday into Friday, another disturbance with a stronger cold front will approach and move through, bringing rain/mix/and snow.

As we get closer to Spring we will continue to see the warm and cold are battle it out. I made a little writeup on this last night, if you haven't read it, check it out.
