A Plethora Of Flurries and Yukon Cold
While no "big" organized storms are on the short term horizon the potential for more flurries of activity is certainly with us.
With the presence of a trough of low pressure over the Northeast we continue to see cold winds funneling southeast from Canada. While winds will relax today compared to yesterday we will see reinforcements of cold shoot down from the Great White North in the form of two disturbances that will bring chances for flurries and snow showers. The first round will be tonight and early tomorrow and primarily will be to the north as low pressure weakens and tracks east. This weakening low will do little to the cold but will provide some flurries and snow showers as it tracks through.
A second disturbance will push south and will help intensify the cold in place over the East. This begins Thursday night and continues through Friday with the genesis of low pressure in the Atlantic. While the low will likely form too far east for those who want a storm, the presence of a deepening trough aloft and the presence of the trough boundary will help fire up more flurries and snow showers for much of the region starting Thursday night but especially continuing on Friday. The NAM (not shown above) has a weak center of low pressure rotating through Pennsylvania during Friday which could help enhance some of the snow, with possibly some accumulating snowfall for some of us. The specific location of said snowfall may be a bit too tough to nail down because of the nature of this disturbance but the NAM (as of now) keeps the accumulations across the Poconos and Northern New Jersey.
In any event, regardless of how much or how little snow you end up getting, cold weather will hold between now and the end of the weekend, with high temperatures remaining below normal and potentially holding only in the 30's on Saturday.
