But despite some early snowfall maps circulating on social media, this is not shaping up to be a major snowstorm. The primary concerns will be rain, gusty winds, minor coastal flooding, and a return to below-normal temperatures. Before the storm arrives, conditions remain pleasant Tuesday and Wednesday. Expect a mix of sunshine and some passing high clouds with afternoon temperatures reaching the lower 60s both days. Tuesday will stay somewhat breezy with wind gusts around 20 to 25 mph, while Wednesday looks calmer and equally mild. The forecast becomes more complicated beginning Thursday as multiple areas of low pressure are expected to develop along the East Coast. We are still working to determine which low will become dominant and exactly how close it will track to the region, creating uncertainty in both rainfall totals and timing. At this point, rain appears likely to develop Thursday and continue into Friday, though questions remain about how widespread and steady the precipitation will be. The heaviest rain may occur Thursday afternoon and Thursday night, with conditions gradually improving into the weekend. Wet roads and slower travel are likely, especially from Thursday into early Saturday. While some snow is possible in the higher elevations of the Catskills and Poconos, widespread snow is not expected across the region. A few flakes could mix in well north and west of New York City, but there is not enough cold air in place for a significant snow event. Along the coastline, gusty onshore winds may lead to areas of minor coastal flooding. Behind the storm, much colder air will settle into the Northeast, bringing a noticeably colder feel for the weekend. Temperatures on Saturday are expected to remain in the 40s, with brisk winds making it feel more like the upper 30s. By Sunday, conditions should begin to improve, though temperatures will remain chilly. A mix of clouds and sunshine is expected early next week as the region gradually recovers from the late-week storm system. THE 7-DAY FORECAST Tuesday Breezy beauty.
