And we have another above it is not bad. Well warm up the temperatures for the rest of the weekend and then cooler temperatures and chances for snow on the way. But it is nice again tomorrow. The workweek will start colder and then we have the potential for snow. Right now below the Freezing Point in northern new jersey. 30 degrees in delaware. Hackett down at 28 and 32 in parsippany.

And then there is also a system approaching from the Alberta Clipper that we keep an eye on. So the winter setup with the one clipper system approaching from the northern blaines and the great lakes and that moves in tuesday. Before it arrives, the coastal system will mostly stay off shore. It will graze the tristate. If the two had been able to meet up, then we would have had a greater potential for heavy accumulating snowfall. Because the systems are going to remain independent of each other. So with the first one, the coastal system, that moves just to the east of us on monday. This is all were going to get. This is one model description. I think were just going to get a dusting or a coating in the city. And then slightly heavier amounts on easter, long island, but one inch but that is significant but not a lot of snow. Then on tuesday, the next clipper system moving through with a chance for another round of snow but still only looking at about an inch in the city. Two to three inches on long island. So not a lot of snow out of both of these systems. But it is still snowfall. And any time you have snow, reduced visibility and poor drives conditions are a concern. Well continue to finetune the times for the two systems as we get closer and so tune in tomorrow and tune in tomorrow as raphael gives you an update on today in new york. Overnight tonight, 32 degrees. During the overnight but still completely dry. And then a pleasant day on sunday with a high of 46 degrees. Partly sunny skies, just an increase in cloud cover late in the day. And then well watch that little bit of snow approach sunday night in early monday morning. But just a dusting or a coating for just about everyone out of the system early on monday morning. Then tuesday, were looking for the potential for some snow showers, but chilly temperatures. Highs only in the mid30s on both monday and tuesday. And then wednesday, it gets a little bit milder, but that is before an arctic plunge arrives. High temperatures will not get above the freezing mark from thursday all the way through saturday. So if you thought we were on the tail end of winter, i guess Mother Nature is saying no, you have a little bit more to go yet. It doesnt end until may. It is going to be a while yet.
