We have a weakening weather system moving through the Ohio Valley that is heading into the leftover cold air that is covering the Northeast. The result is Winter Weather Advisories. They are posted tonight into Monday morning for Northeast Pennsylvania, Northwest New Jersey, the Lower Hudson Valley, and the western half of Connecticut. The advisory is for a wintry mix of precipitation overnight which will glaze up roadways and sidewalks making getting around potentially difficult and potentially dangerous especially going into the Monday morning commute. Advisories are not up for the more urban centers of NYC or Philadelphia or are they up for Long Island. Winter Storm Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories are also up for the Central Appalachians as far south as Western North Carolina. Serious icing issues are forecast for the mountains of West Virginia into Southwest Pennsylvania.
Temperatures this morning have bit bottom in the teens and low 20s away from urban centers and cold air is going to be difficult to dislodge. A warm front is pushing eastward through the Ohio Valley and we can already see precipitation heading east on regional and local radars. Clouds will be increasing today with high most high temperatures not much above the low and middle 30s in areas where advisories are posted. Outside of the advisory zone highs will likely reach the upper 30s and lower 40s. Then tonight we see some rain coming in for coastal counties of New Jersey, Connecticut and Long Island. A little snow will fall inland that will gradually go to a mix of light snow and freezing rain, and the ultimately just freezing rain.
