Discussion
A “clipper” system is spreading snow into the Mid-Atlantic region this morning and it should arrive here late in the day. Accumulations around here by later tonight should be on the order of a coating to an inch or so with higher amounts confined to areas south of here. In fact, as the "clipper" intensifies later today near the Mid-Atlantic coastline, enhanced snowfall amounts could occur across central and southern New Jersey with up to 5 inches possible.
Looking ahead, another storm could affect the region early this weekend and this one carries much more potential as it would be of the “coastal” variety with considerably more in the way of moisture. It is still too early to tell if the precipitation from this storm would be a mixture of rain and snow in the I-95 corridor as temperatures will be only marginally cold, but the potential does exist for significant snow accumulations.
