Chance for Snow Showers Today, Rain Showers Saturday,
Snow Late Sunday Ahead of Bitter Cold Air
Today we have a cold day and we also have an upper trough that will be moving through later this afternoon and this evening across Eastern Pennsylvania to Southern New England. This trough is producing snow showers and some heavier snows in Eastern Ohio, Western Pennsylvania south into West Virginia. We might see snow showers whiten the ground up in spots late today into this evening but it won't be much more than that. Temperatures this afternoon will reach the upper 20s and lower 30s as winds turn more west-southwest ahead of the trough. We will be watching the radars as the trough progresses eastward. Note that some folks will see snow showers, and others may not.

This is all ahead of warmer air that will be coming in overnight as temperatures remain steady in the 20s. Friday looks to be a nice day and temperatures will moderate. Highs will reach the upper 30s and lower 40s in most places and we should see a fair amount of sunshine. This is all happening ahead of an arctic front that will be pushing eastward and that will be the big player for the weekend.
A cold front approaches Saturday. There isn't much to this front and there may be a few showers Saturday afternoon. They should not amount to much in terms of precipitation. The front will move offshore and then stall across the Southeast US. A wave is going to develop on the front and move northeastward Sunday. While this is happening we have a bitter cold high to the west that will start pressing in later Sunday. The wave will draw in colder air later Sunday into Sunday night which is the timeframe for a period of accumulating snow.
You can expect temperatures Saturday to be in the low to mid 40s for highs. Sunday we will probably see temperatures slowing easing through the 30s. It may be close to freezing when the snow starts but temperatures will then drop quickly into the 20s Sunday night and by Monday morning we will be down in the teens to near 20. This looks like it could be a 1 to 3/2-4 inch type snowfall.
Amounts could be higher to the east and northeast across Long Island and Southeastern New England. That would be my first early guess on this. I will be putting out snow forecast maps on my subscription site along with additional analysis today through Sunday. Bitter cold air follows all this next week. Monday temperatures will be in the upper teens and low 20s at best and by Tuesday morning we will be down in the single digits everywhere, and this will be especially true if we have a snow cover of a few inches. We may have to adjust temperatures downward in the coming days. Next week looks brutally cold at least through Wednesday before temperatures moderate late in the week.
Please note that with regards to any severe weather, tropical storms, or hurricanes, should a storm be threatening, please consult your local National Weather Service office or your local government officials about what action you should be taking to protect life and property.
