Next chance for snow to come Thursday. Here's the First Alert forecast.
It was a mostly dry Sunday, until some snow squalls briefly hit the Tri-State Area in the early evening.
Here's how the weather is expected to play out heading into the new work week.
Temps to drop, wind gusts to pick up
In the wake of those squalls, temperatures have dropped, and winds have picked up. Gusts between 30-45 mph can be expected through the night. Those strong gusts will lead to windchills in the low 20s and upper teens, while actual low temperatures will range from the upper 20s to the lower 30s.

Snow possible on Thursday
Bright, but brisk conditions are in store for Monday, as winds will still be whipping for most of the day. They won't be as strong as Sunday, averaging between 15-25 mph. High temperatures will generally be in the low 40s.
Aside from a few light showers early on Wednesday morning, our attention then turns to the next possible widespread precipitation event later in the week. As polar air filters back into the Tri-State Area on Thursday night into Friday, forecast models are indicating that a coastal storm will develop offshore. The models have been quite divergent in their solutions over the last few days, ranging from over a foot of snow to no snow at all. Although more wavering among the models is likely in the coming days, they have now come into better agreement that at least some snow will fall late week.
Our two most reliable models, the GFS and European, still differ on just how much snow will fall though. The European model wants to develop that coastal storm closer to shore, leading to a 4-6-inch range of snowfall. On the other hand, the GFS has the storm much further away from our coastline, therefore producing only 1-3 inches of snow. As always, the First Alert Weather Team will provide further updates on this potential winter storm throughout the week.
