Friday's Light Snow:

I decided to keep my map from yesterday as my final map for this storm. I am expecting light snow to start tomorrow night and continue until Friday afternoon, with a total of near 1 inch of snow. Temperatures should be in the mid to upper 20s during this event.

Weekend Forecast:

For this weekend, mostly to partly sunny skies are expected, though it will be relatively cold. High temperatures will be in the mid to upper 20s, with low temperatures in the upper single digits to lower 10s north and west of NYC, and in the mid 10s for NYC and closer to the coast.

Forecast for Next Week:

After this cold spell, we are going to see temperatures starting out below average, warming up to near average. While the early week will start with high temperatures in the mid 20s to lower 30s, by the second half of the week we will be looking at high temperatures in the lower to possibly upper 30s across the region. Conditions as of now are expected to stay dry through all of next week. By next weekend though, indications are that the cold and stormy pattern may return, starting with the models hinting at the next possible storm threat happening during that time frame.
