Sunday update for snow on Monday

Latest post: 4:30pm -- 2/2/2014

A second straight day of milder temperatures will round out the first weekend in February...

A cold front is moving in slowly from the west today...
A south-westerly wind will push highs to around 50 degrees for most areas .. with mid- 40s expected along the coast, and the south shore of Long Island...
Clouds will limit sunshine for much of the day.


The southward progress may tend to weaken, but will be monitored for the early evening hours...

Game-time conditions are forecast to be mostly cloudy with a 40% chance of scattered showers. Temps will be in the mid- 40s, with a west/south-west wind at 10-15mph.

*** The cold front crosses through the area tonight ***
*** A weather disturbance moves in on Monday ***

Temperatures will slowly drop into the 30s overnight.
Rain, or a rain/snow mix, develops between 2 -3am Monday.

Weather conditions at 6am are forecast to see rain and snow....
Minimal accumulations of 1 inch or less on grassy surfaces are expected. Temperatures will be in the mid-30s.

A change to snow is expected to occur between 7 and 8am for NYC, central and northern New Jersey, and around 9am for southern NJ and Long Island.
Snow will fall through early afternoon... ending between 2 and 3pm.
Highs top out in the lower to mid- 30s.

The track of the storm slightly favors central and southern NJ with more precipitation...
Snow amounts are highly dependent on the time of change-over from rain to snow...
I am thinking that most places will receive 2 - 4 inches. 
If the change takes place sooner, there will be 6-inch totals.

I will provide another update later today...

Dry and cold weather is in store on Tuesday, with highs in the 30s.

** Another storm, with rain and/or snow returns on Wednesday **
This is likely to produce higher rainfall totals, or, if its colder, more snow...

Details on the next storm will be updated as well...
