Weekend Cloudy Rain Lasting Into Monday Afternoon

We are looking ahead to a not so nice weekend with cloudy skies lasting through Monday and several waves of rain as lows on a stalled front just ripple along to the northeast. Today however we area starting out with some sun but clouds are already moving in. A disturbance that brought heavy snow to the lower Great Lakes is now pushing into Northern Ohio and Northwest Pennsylvania. The bulk of this system will pass to our north however some snow will probably make it into Northeastern Pennsylvania and the Catskills later this afternoon and a few snow showers might reach as far south as Northern New Jersey, the Hudson Valley and even touching Connecticut and Long Island with a snow shower or two.

SNOW FORECAST TODAY

Moisture is beginning to build up in the Western Gulf of Mexico and this is all going to get drawn northeastward over the weekend and even into Monday. There is no strong push of cold air sweeping in from Canada to get this thing to move along, nor is there any one deep low to do it either.

From there it is waves of rain Saturday night right into Monday afternoon with some breaks in between.
