Discussion
A major winter storm system will move eastward today and produce snow in the DC-to-Philly corridor; however, there will be minimal impact in the NYC metro region with a coating to an inch possible. Dry, cold air is entrenched across the Northeast US anchored by strong high pressure to the northwest and this will inhibit the precipitation shield of this storm system from advancing this far to the northeast. Arctic cold will follow the departing low pressure system for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday as our cold, active weather pattern continues in the Mid-Atlantic region. Later in the week, low pressure is likely to develop over the Gulf of Mexico and it can move northeast from there and have an impact on the region this weekend.
