As a secondary low pressure takes over from the primary one, and heads into the waters to our east, colder air wrapping into the system will change the rain back over to snow as it is in the process of tapering to showers, providing some additional accumulation in areas that saw a burst of snow first that then went to sleet and rain, so the overall snow accumulation forecast for the event as a whole is the same as previously, but this is a reminder that in a system with &#8220;mild&#8221; air, and precipitation transitions, you&#8217;re not going to &#8220;see&#8221; all of that snowfall on the ground at once. There is settling and melting that goes on as a part of the process. Storm exits overnight and early Sunday with a few lingering snow showers around on a trough, then we get into a northwesterly air flow of mainly dry and chilly weather for the rest of the weekend and the first half of next week, with the exception of a low pressure disturbance that has to pass close to or through the region on Tuesday, on its way to be absorbed by offshore low pressure. That is our only real shot of unsettled weather after this system during the rest of this 5-day period, and it wont&#8217; be a big deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TODAY: Cloudy. Snow\/sleet north, rain to the south, transitioning back to snow and snow showers from northwest to southeast with some additional accumulation bringing totals for the event to under 2 inches south and east of I-95 belt, 2-4 inches I-95 belt, 4-8 inches to the northwest of there. Highs 33-40. Wind E-NE 10-20 MPH inland and 20-30 MPH coast with higher gusts early, shifting to N 10-20 MPH and gusty midday-afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of snow showers. Lows 25-32. Wind N to NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy with a chance of snow showers early morning. Sun and passing clouds thereafter. Highs 35-42. Wind NW 10-20 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 23-30. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MONDAY: Sun and passing clouds. Highs 38-45. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, gusty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MONDAY NIGHT: Clouds increase. Lows 28-35. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TUESDAY: Cloudy with period of snow except rain or snow in coastal areas. Highs 36-43. Wind variable 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TUESDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Lows 22-29. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WEDNESDAY: Sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 37-44. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 9-13)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Northwesterly air flow of mainly dry and chilly weather early in the period.
