Raw conditions arrive early Tuesday morning between 4 a.m. and 7 a.m. A coastal storm brings us periods of moderate to heavy rainfall, and steady rain between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m.

This will likely disrupt both your morning and evening commute, so allow extra time and extra space between cars. Visibility could be lowered during the heaviest downpours.

Some wet flakes could try to mix in with this, but more than likely this will mainly be rain for our borough. Any snow that does fall will quickly be washed away by raindrops.

It will also be breezy, with gusts 20-30 mph. This will make a cold and wet day feel all the more uncomfortable.

While the storm will pull away from our area by Tuesday night, there will still be lingering impacts. We could see between a half inch and inch and a half of rain; this will make roads slippery, and potentially problematic when temperatures drop below freezing, and roads could become icy. Take it extra slow during any overnight travel.

Wednesday will be better in terms of rain, but we are looking at a spree of cold days. Lows will be around freezing for Tuesday overnight and Wednesday overnight, with the 20s as lows of the rest of the work week.

OVERNIGHT: Lows around freezing. Clouds build ahead of early Tuesday rain.

TUESDAY: Storm watch. Steady rain with periods of downpours. Highs around 40 and lows in the low 30s.

THURSDAY: Clouds and sun. Highs in the low 40s, lows in the low 20s.

FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Late rain chances. Highs in the low 30s, lows in the high 20s.
