Three things to know:
After a 9-day stretch of sub-freezing temperatures ended yesterday, we'll continue to see highs come our way into the low 30s today and tomorrow as well. This will allow for the melting of some of the snow that has been sitting around since the Jan. 25 snowstorm. Be on the lookout for some ice and black ice to develop both in the early morning hours today and overnight for Wednesday morning as temps dip below freezing.
There are two chances for snow showers coming our way this week. One chance though has nearly fizzled completely from the region as a system passes by overnight tonight into Wednesday morning. The other chance of snow arrives Friday afternoon with a quick moving system heading into the region. Right now, the snow totals look to be minimal, about a coating to 2 inches. Which is great news as we don't need anymore big snowfalls across the region. The bad news is what will follow this system.
Temperatures plummet from Friday to Saturday as Arctic air surges into the Hudson Valley. Gusty winds will also come along the way for the entire weekend which will make the air feel extremely cold. Temps will only rise into the teens but we do see those numbers back into the 30s by midweek next week.
