A stalled cold front off the east coast will help to bring some cold temperatures to the region as a rapidly intensifying low pressure system quickly moves through our region tonight and early tomorrow morning. We will remain rain for the rest of the day but we will change over to snow around 1-2am overnight as some colder air filters in to the region and temperatures begin to fall below freezing. As the bulk of the system moves through in the early morning hours we could see some heavier snowfall rates (up to an inch an hour). So exactly how much snow will we expect to get? Right now I'd say we will end up with an accumulation around 3", even though the snow will be coming down it won't accumulate as much because the ground is so soggy from the rain and relatively warmer temperatures. After the system moves out tomorrow morning the wind will pick up (could see gusts up to 40mph) and there will be some slick spots on the roads. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory in effect from midnight tonight through 8am tomorrow morning. So if you're heading out somewhere late tonight or early tomorrow morning make sure you leave some extra travel time as roads will be slick and slushy and probably a bit icy in higher elevations.
