A storm system producing severe weather in the South is expected to move north Sunday night into Monday, bringing a quick burst of snow and rain to parts of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.

According to the FOX Forecast Center, the system was positioned over the southern Mississippi River Valley and began tracking east along the Gulf Coast.

TORNADOES REPORTED ACROSS SOUTH AS DANGEROUS SUNDAY SEVERE WEATHER THREAT EYES GULF COAST

Ahead of the system’s movement, a warm front lifted northward, drawing increased moisture into the region.

This helped support the rain that is currently impacting Delmarva, far southern New Jersey, and the Delaware Valley.

After sunset, temperatures gradually dropped. Parts of eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Long Island, NY may fall to near or just below freezing.

During this time, colder air and steady precipitation will overlap, resulting in measurable snowfall.

Most areas are forecast to see only a light coating, with totals generally up to 2 inches and perhaps a few isolated higher amounts. The event is not expected to significantly impact daily life or travel.

In the major urban centers, accumulation will be difficult. Marginal temperatures and the urban heat island effect will likely keep roads mainly wet, with snow sticking primarily to grassy and elevated surfaces or in less heavily traveled areas.

Any changeover to snow will likely occur between 9 and 10 p.m. Sunday, with precipitation tapering off between 5 and 6 a.m. Monday.

If trends shift toward more persistent precipitation or a focused band of heavier snow, a narrow corridor of Winter Weather Advisories could become necessary. Based on the latest data, if that were to occur, it would most likely happen in central New Jersey, particularly north of the I-95 corridor.

However, as for right now, this looks like a marginal, low-impact event, though shifts in temperature or storm track will be worth monitoring.
