With the east coast getting hammered with continuous rain, the last thing they need right now is cold temperatures... Well, unfortunately that is going to be the case today. Not only will they receive bitter cold temperatures, but snow will be an issue today as well.
With the heaviest snow falling in the Appalachians today, areas near at lower elevations still could see snow as well. Accumulations for these lower areas may only be a dusting to an inch at most, but with the current rain, this will make for very slushy conditions.
This system will continue to move northeastward tonight giving parts of New England a chance at receiving snow tomorrow.
The area shaded in lighter blue should see two to four inches of snow, while the darker blue should see three to five inches. This rain should start to switch over to snow in the higher elevations this afternoon and will not end until later tonight.
Temperatures within the rain filled areas looked to get below freezing, so this will definitely be a hazard for icy conditions.
