We could have slushy accumulation. We go in to tomorrow morning and have a light rain. Cooler feel to the northwest. Skies try to brighten a little bit. Might end up being a bright overcast with a couple holes in the clouds. Then the clouds thicken up tomorrow night and rain starts backing in toward the coast. Harmless at first during the evening hours but as it gets a little steadier and this particular computer model has it farther east than it will end up, you see numbers dropping to the middle 30s. That means we could transition to snowfall. The question is how far west does it go . Right now i think its going to get back in to new york city. So an initial calling for a slushy 1 to 3 inches on the east end of long island. Heavier amounts to southeastern new england. Well see at least snowflakes in the air in new york city. That would constitute a trace. Maybe a slushy coating or colder surfaces. Maybe parts of central and southern new jersey, close call and bill evans will look at that in the morning. Cloudy and mile.
