4:00pm a storm system is moving slowly across the Northeast. This storm features rain near the coast and snow inland with a narrow band of mixed precipitation were a maritime air mass and a arctic air mass meet. This low pressure system produced a dreary day in Buffalo yesterday with a mixed bag of precipitations going back and forth between freezing rain, sleet and snow through the day. This storm system will meander about right through the week over the Northeast. This is anticipated to be a deep low pressure system as it phases with another low pressure system later in the week. Given the nature of the storm system's dynamics, there is uncertainty as to what outcomes might transpire, however at this time there is confidence that a wide spread accumulating snow will affect a good part of the Northeast this week between Thursday and Saturday. At this time, a significant snow event is not out of the question. Behind this system a colder air mass will move in dropping temperatures by some 5°F to 15°F. Elsewhere around the Nation, snow is once again affecting the South in to Dallas, TX where up to 6.0" of accumulations are expected. This is the same storm system that is anticipated to phase with a low pressure system over the Northeast.
