Snow, Rain Showers Swing through Northeast

Feb 18, 2012; 4:05 PM ET

A weak storm is pushing through the Northeast this evening with spotty snow and rain showers.

The system is not associated with the storm brewing in the South.

The snow showers can produce a quick coating of snow to some grassy and elevated surfaces in part of central and southern New England, upstate New York, northern Pennsylvania and northwestern New Jersey.

The snow will melt on most road surfaces.

 

Rain showers or a mix of rain and wet snow showers are in store for the coastal areas including New York City, Providence, Boston and Philadelphia this evening.

During Friday night, the storm managed to bring a few inches of snow to parts of Michigan.

A push of dry air and building high pressure in the wake of this disturbance on Sunday will work to keep the southern storm and its snow generally south of the Mason-Dixon Line.

Washington, D.C. and Baltimore will be on the northern fringe of the snowstorm.

Farther to the northeast, a snowstorm will clobber Newfoundland.
