Cold; A Little Icy Precip Late Tonight

Around midnight, light freezing rain develops. It will change to light rain early Sunday morning from south to north. Sunday is cloudy and a bit milder with spotty light rain, until mid-afternoon. Another round of light, spotty rain arrives late Sunday night into Monday morning.

Forecast Discussion

The center of arctic high pressure is moving east today and will be over New Jersey by late today. Skies today will be partly to mostly cloudy with cold temperatures continuing. Tonight, moisture and milder air will override the cold air in place near the surface producing a brief period of light freezing rain late tonight.

Light freezing rain will transition to just spotty light rain early Sunday morning from south to north. Spotty light rain will be possible until mid-afternoon.

A cold front from the west arrives early Monday morning. Winds pick up from the northwest and another brief period of spotty light rain is possible late Sunday night into Monday morning. Monday is cloudy and cool, but mostly dry after that early light rain.

Another brief cold wedge develops Tuesday with moisture overrunning from the south. We'll have light afternoon and nighttime rain Tuesday. Temperatures warm significantly Tuesday night.

Latest computer guidance greatly speeds up the next front compared to what was thought 12 hours ago. Wednesday will be cloudy with rain. Temperatures fall Wednesday nigh.

Thursday will be colder with morning rain showers possibly ending as flurries. Thursday night will be cold with clearing skies. Friday has few clouds but chilly temperatures.
