Snow, sleet and freezing rain to affect the Northeast corridor for the evening commute
A strengthening low pressure area will move northeast through the Great lakes to reach eastern Canada tomorrow. Although there is a strong push of warm air aloft, very cold air persists at ground level from east-central Pennsylvania to Maine. Sleet and freezing rain will change to plain rain in New York City this evening. The Providence and Boston areas will experience a sequence of snow to sleet to freezing rain and then rain later this afternoon and tonight. As the storm moves away tomorrow, strong, gusty, cold winds will follow.
The next analysis is from four hours later than the first:
Coastal areas from Maryland to New York City will wind up with mostly rain after the snow and ice. The farther inland you go, the more snow and ice there will be... with very tough travel.
