Low pressure well offshore as evidenced by the satellite loop is heading eastward but it is pulling down one last gasp of cold air into the Northeast and Northern Mid Atlantic states for today into Monday. Some light snow from a northern stream system in New England brought a bit of light snow to Connecticut and Long Island this morning but that makes an exit and we should see some sunshine developing today. Temperatures will likely sit in the low to middle 30s for highs this afternoon followed by a cold night of mainly clear skies. Most lows tonight will be in the teens to lower 20s.
The core of the cold air will begin to move out Monday being helped along by another one of these fast moving lows across Southern Canada and a weak warm front that will extend south from that low center. Clouds will develop during Monday and there is likely to be another shot of light snows across New York State and Southern New England Monday afternoon and evening. The bulk of the precipitation passes mostly north of New York City. Monday highs will reach into the 30s. Once this system passes offshore the leftover air will be warmer so temperatures Monday night into Tuesday morning will be mostly in the 20s. Another weather system follows Tuesday and once again this system will pass to the north late Tuesday and Tuesday night. Most if not all of the precipitation with this system will also pass to the north in Upstate New York and New England.
