We’ve been hearing talk about snow early this week, but we’re not really buying it. Yes, there is going to be a coastal storm developing that will bring precipitation to the region Monday night to Tuesday night.

There is a small chance of some sleet/snow at the onset (mainly in our colder suburbs) as well as when the storm moves away Tuesday evening (again, mainly in our colder suburbs), but not a single model shows temps cold enough for accumulation, nor does the pattern support it.

For the I-95 corridor and even points a fair distance west, this is primarily a rain event. For any meaningful snow you’re going to have to go WELL to the northwest, probably west of I-81.

We’ll have more details on this storm tomorrow, but just wanted to briefly address this.
