Find out the latest predictions from meteorologists on what the storm may bring.

Meteorologists are tracking the potential for a storm system to bring rain and even some wet snow later this week.

The National Weather Service says it is monitoring the risk for a late-week storm.

Its meteorologists say the storm would "bring rain to most, though some wet snow in higher elevations can't be ruled out."

The National Weather Service's Weather Prediction Center said, "Yes, there is a chance for a low pressure system to bring mixed precipitation to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast by next weekend. But, there remains a lot of uncertainty."

It predicts a wave of low pressure will develop across the Ohio Valley late Wednesday, then move east to off the Mid-Atlantic coast Friday while strengthening, according to its website.

"This low pressure will cause expanding precipitation, with rain and high elevation snowfall possible," the National Weather Service reports. "Much cooler than normal temperatures will accompany this system Friday and through next weekend."

The National Weather Service cautions that there are still several unknowns, including the exact placement and track of the storm, and the amount of any snow accumulation.

"Confidence in storm development is higher than confidence in specific impacts," the National Weather Service said.

In the short term, the National Weather Service predicts a chance of showers today, followed by clearing, and highs in the upper 50s. It anticipates dry weather for Tuesday and Wednesday, with similar temperatures.

As of Monday, it anticipates rain will start late Thursday, and continue Friday, potentially lasting into early Saturday.

WFSB as of Monday morning predicts clouds will increase Thursday as a late-week storm approaches.

"By Friday, as low pressure moves in, rain becomes likely. In addition, much cooler air will arrive, with highs only reaching the mid-to-upper 40s," WFSB reports. "Depending on the temperature profile, there is the potential for a few wet flakes to mix in through the hill towns and higher elevations... but we do not anticipate any accumulation or resulting impacts at this point."

WTNH's meteorologists, however, predict the storm is "looking more and more like a miss with the latest trend."

"Some showers possible Thursday night-early Friday then the whole system drops to the south of Long Island," WTNH reports.
