Cold Front to Bring Rain/Snow Tonight

A cold front is forecast to move across the region tonight into early Friday morning. Precipitation with the front is expected to start as rain, however as colder air moves in behind the front, the rain will change over to snow after midnight.

Total snowfall accumulations at this time appear to be around 1-2 inches area wide. There is a low-end chance that some locations could see up to 3 inches if any heavier snow bands develop or the rain changes over to snow an hour earlier than forecast. 

Temperatures will continue to fall through the morning on Friday, then remain nearly steady through the afternoon, with temperatures not getting above 30 degrees. This will result in any rain/snow that falls to freeze through the morning hours, with hazardous travel expected.

Here are the main highlights:

- Rain changes to a brief burst of snow between 12 am and 4 am, North and West of NYC.  Snow ends by 6 am.

- Rain changes to a brief burst of snow between 2 am and 6 am, NYC, CT and Long Island.  Snow ends by 9 am

- Snow accumulations of 1-2 inches are likely, but 3 inches cannot be ruled out.

- Greatest concern is for accumulating snow along with flash freezing during the Friday morning commute with temperatures in the 20’s.
