A northeast-southwest warm front is producing some snow this morning north of the frontal boundary. Coastal areas go to rain before it ends. Inland areas see mostly snow or a mix. Borderline temperatures means that accumulations are likely to more on colder surfaces than main roads. Winter Weather Advisories are up for inland counties of Northern New Jersey and the Lower Hudson Valley north of Interstate 287 and Southwest Connecticut. Snow amounts will range from a coating to an inch or maybe 2. Perhaps some isolated 3 inch amounts are possible well inland in Southeast New York but this to mean remains a minor event and I’m not expecting any surprises.
Much of the precipitation on the radar is streaking and while it will fill in some, there isn’t a lot of upside here. Most of this should come to an end midday to early afternoon and we might even see some breaks of sunshine later today. Temperatures are borderline while it is snowing and late today highs should reach the upper 30s to lower 40s so what falls should not be a big issue. Most lows tonight will be in the low to mid 30s under some partially clearing skies. Im not expecting much of a refreeze issue with temperatures not falling much. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day overall should be good days for the most part with no weather issues. We have weak high pressure overhead Wednesday and skies should be no worse than partly sunny with highs in the low to middle 40s. It will turn a little colder Wednesday night but I expect skies to be mainly clear and Christmas morning lows will be in the mid to upper 20s. Christmas Day we have a cold front that will move through and there isn’t much with it. A little disturbance might bring clouds and perhaps a few scattered midday & afternoon showers or sprinkles as it goes by. Otherwise clouds on either side of any sprinkles and highs Christmas Day will be in the low to mid 40s.
