...WINTRY PRECIPITATION ON THE WAY FOR SUNDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK...

LOW PRESSURE MOVING ACROSS THE PLAINS STATES TODAY AND TONIGHT WILL
MOVE TO NEAR CHICAGO SUNDAY NIGHT...AND PICK UP ABUNDANT GULF
MOISTURE. SOME OF THIS MOISTURE WILL MOVE EAST TOWARD THE AREA SUNDAY
NIGHT...WITH A WEAK SECONDARY LOW DEVELOPING ALONG THE DELMARVA COAST.
THIS WILL SET THE STAGE FOR WINTRY PRECIPITATION OVER THE AREA SUNDAY
NIGHT INTO MONDAY NIGHT.

CLOUDS WILL INCREASE DURING THE DAY ON SUNDAY...WITH SNOW ARRIVING IN
THE NEW YORK CITY METROPOLITAN AREA NEAR OR JUST AFTER DARK...THEN
SPREADING NORTH AND EAST INTO THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY...LONG ISLAND
AND SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT SUNDAY EVENING. TEMPERATURES WILL RECOVER
TO THE UPPER 30S SUNDAY AFTERNOON...SO THERE COULD BE A BRIEF MIX
WITH RAIN AT THE START NEAR THE CITY AND ALONG THE COAST.
PRECIPITATION OVER INLAND SECTIONS SHOULD THEN REMAIN ALL SNOW...WITH
MODERATE SNOW ACCUMULATIONS POSSIBLE. WARMER AIR MOVING IN ALOFT OVER
THE NEW YORK CITY METROPOLITAN AREA...LONG ISLAND AND COASTAL
CONNECTICUT SHOULD HOWEVER RESULT IN A MIX OF SNOW...SLEET AND
FREEZING RAIN LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING...KEEPING SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS THERE ON THE LIGHT SIDE AND ALSO RESULTING IN SOME
LIGHT ICING.

THE COASTAL LOW WILL PASS SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA MONDAY MORNING...BUT
A WEAK TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE IN ITS WAKE AND LEFTOVER MOISTURE
SHOULD RESULT IN ADDITIONAL LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS MAINLY OVER
INLAND SECTIONS FROM MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT.
