Light snow moves across Northeast, minor travel issues possible after severe storms in the South

A storm system producing severe weather in the South moved north Sunday night into Monday, bringing a quick burst of snow and rain to parts of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.

As light snow falls across parts of the Northeast, it's expected to taper off by mid-to-late morning, while overnight snow broke out across portions of the I-95 corridor, such as New York City and Philadelphia.

Snow totals are generally light, with minor travel issues possible across Long Island. 

According to the FOX Forecast Center, the system was positioned over the southern Mississippi River Valley and began tracking east along the Gulf Coast.

Ahead of the system’s movement, a warm front lifted northward, drawing increased moisture into the region.

This helped support the rain that is currently impacting Delmarva, far southern New Jersey, and the Delaware Valley.

After sunset, temperatures gradually dropped.

During this time, colder air and steady precipitation will overlap, resulting in measurable snowfall.

Most areas are seeing a light coating, with totals generally up to 2 inches and perhaps a few isolated higher amounts. 

In the major urban centers, accumulation will be difficult. Marginal temperatures and the urban heat island effect will likely keep roads mainly wet, with snow sticking primarily to grassy and elevated surfaces or in less heavily traveled areas.
