Forecast Discussion:
The first full signs of Winter's approach are here and now in the Northeast.
Monday, however, will not show any of this, as clear and sunny skies will rule
the day, with temperatures still warm for this time of year. A batch of
moisture over the Great Lakes will make its way into our region for Monday
night into Tuesday, and with colder temperatures higher up in the atmosphere,
there will be a mixture of snow with the pending rain showers. Higher
elevations could see upwards of 2 to 3 inches out of this system, while the
valleys will see around 1/2 to an inch of snow/rain mix. This will last through
Tuesday night with some lingering flurries overnight. High pressure from the
West will move in for Wednesday, clearing skies and bring plenty of sunshine.
Please use extra caution when traveling out and about when wintry weather is
present.
