Another weekend, another winter storm. This winter pattern sure has started off with a bang and we aren't even officially in winter yet, that's on December 21! A major winter storm is set to target the Philadelphia and New York City metropolitan areas starting tomorrow morning and continuing through Sunday morning with snow, sleet, and rain. High pressure takes hold thereafter with tranquil weather conditions for much of next week, which is exactly what the region needs for everyone to get their shopping done. Plus, I have baking to do!
An arctic cold front will move through the region today with scattered clouds and possibly a flurry or two. Otherwise, tranquil conditions can be expected with winds veering to the north at 5 to 15 mph. Temperatures will rise into the lower to mid 30's for highs throughout the Philadelphia and New York City metropolitan areas.
Tonight, arctic high pressure will build into the region with scattered clouds in the evening increasing to overcast skies by tomorrow morning. Winds will be from the north-northeast at 5 to 15 mph. Temperatures will fall into the mid to upper 10's over the interior and lower to mid 20's along the coast.
