Snow showers graced the area with a coating to an inch of snow this morning.  For some, this was the first measurable snow of the season!
A powerful storm will move through the Great Lakes this weekend, drawing much warmer air northward into our area tomorrow through Sunday.  As its cold front nears our area Sunday, heavy rain and gusty wind will overspread the region Sunday and Sunday night.   The cold front will slowly move eastward through our area Sunday night, reaching the Delaware River around midnight.  Watch for some strong wind gusts ahead and along the cold front, and a changover to snow behind the front!

FRIDAY

While there will be some patchy clouds, Friday will be much sunnier than recent days, with temperatures climbing to warmer-than-normal levels.

SATURDAY

As the storm over the Plains intensifies and moves towards the Great Lakes, even-warmer air will be drawn into our area.   Saturday should remain dry, although there will be an increasing chance of rain after sunset.

 

SUNDAY

A potent cold front will approach our area during the daytime.  Gusty south winds ahead of the front will deliver rounds of heavy rain along with much-above-normal temperatures.  The heaviest rain will be during the afternoon and evening.  The cold front will crawl eastward through our area Sunday evening, reaching the Delaware River around midnight.  Watch for potential thunderstorms with strong wind gusts over 40mph ahead and along the cold front!   After the cold front crosses, temperatures will plunge into the 30s, changing the rain to a burst of heavy snow for a bit which could accumulate in some areas, especially over the higher elevations and northern counties.

RAINFALL TOTALS

Widespread 2-3″ rain is likely with this system Sunday and Sunday night!

BEYOND SUNDAY

More-seasonal temperatures, blustery wind, and snow showers will follow the frontal passage for Monday.  The seasonal temperatures will continue for the rest of next week, which at this time looks mainly dry after Monday’s snow showers.  Enjoy!
