The 4th weather system in a week is with us on this Sunday making for a miserable day of rain and cold temperatures in the 30s along the coast. Inland we have elevated areas that area under various Winter Weather Advisories and Winter Storm Warnings but these conditions are generally for areas north of Route 84 in New York State and New England. This is going to be an elevation driven snowfall.

For most folks today from Eastern Pennsylvania to Southern New England this will be a rain event. Areas just inland of the coast might see some sleet or wet snow flakes mix in from time to time. Areas that see accumulation in the Lower Hudson Valley south of Route 84 are likely to see it only on the coldest of surfaces and not on roads. Then we get into the elevated areas 750 to 1000 ft or higher where we will likely see several inches of accumulation. Areas under Winter Storm Warnings will likely see 4 to 8 inches of heavy wet snow. Radars are loaded up with patches of moderate rain and on the northern flank we have sleet and wet snow. Rainfall amounts will be on the order of a half inch to as much as 1 inch in some places. Temperatures today area likely to hold in the 30s except for perhaps area in South Jersey and Southeastern Pennsylvania where highs will be in the lower 40s.
