Flurries Possible Today
Radar up above will update you throughout the day as a combination of two weather systems combine to begin our cold shot on Sunday.First, low pressure moving from the Southeast into the Atlantic will miss much of the region. However, moisture from the coastal could bring a period of light snow to Cape May County in New Jersey and Sussex County in Delaware. Accumulation wise, no more than a coating to half inch is possible down there...maybe an inch if you're lucky.
Second, a dying cold front will be moving east through Pennsylvania today. Much of the moisture with this frontal boundary has dried up so this itself will provide little in the way of moisture. Due to cloud cover being over the region this morning from the the Southeast low, temperatures will not rise that much but will still get into the 30's to around 40. However, this cloud cover could limit any potential flurries or snow showers from the arctic boundary to the west. I'm not completely writing off flurries in the forecast but I think the best chance for any flurry of activity may be farther south and east...essentially I-95 on east and south.

Update, Noon: Looking at satellite and radar trends the precipitation back to the southwest, over the Carolinas, looks to be increasing in coverage and scope, a bit more than what model guidance had suggested. This isn't a "big deal" in terms of difference but it could extend light snow a county or two farther north than my thoughts from this morning, such as Dover, Millville and perhaps Atlantic City as the northern extent of a steadier field of light snow. North and west will likely see little more than flurries but don't be surprised in South Jersey or Delaware if you see some light snow (or even a mix if you are right at the coast) late this afternoon or early this evening.
