1/5 PM All Zones: Active, complicated forecast through midweek

A transitional weather pattern will continue over the next few days, and multiple storm systems are expected to impact the area over the next few days. Quiet weather through Monday will give way to a developing storm system in the Great Lakes, which will move into Southeast Canada on Tuesday. Warmer air will be drawn into the Northeast US as the storm develops, and rain will spread throughout the area on Tuesday.

A threat for wintry precipitation will develop throughout New England on the front end of the storm system, as a cold high pressure over Canada shifts away from the area. This will be most prevalent across interior portions of NY State, Connecticut and areas further north into New England. Cold air in the lower levels will be more stout here, and multiple precipitation types are possible — including snow, sleet, and freezing rain.
