After a brief icing “scare” this morning in parts of Northeast PA, Northern NJ and the Hudson Valley of NY, attention shifts to cold air moving this direction from the west. Everything still looks pretty much as it did yesterday…precip should fall as rain…with maybe just a few higher elevations briefly mixing with wet snow at the very end of the event. Just watch for refreeze tonight! Temperatures will drop below 32 in most places, and as such any leftover wetness on the ground will freeze up.

As for Saturday Night’s snow threat, it is beginning to look more likely that many areas in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast will have to engage in some sort of snow removal. Moisture is limited…but coatings up to an inch of snow is a distinct possibility by Sunday Afternoon. Stay tuned.
