A little freezing rain is possible tonight.

There is the potential for a strong coastal storm Tuesday and Wednesday, however the track and therefore the details/impacts are uncertain at this time.

According to Accuweather, a storm from the Gulf of Mexico will turn northward along the Atlantic Seaboard next week, potentially resulting in a snowstorm for parts of the East.

As colder air returns to the region next week, highs in the 30s and 40s F will replace 50- and 60-degree temperatures.

Just enough cold air may seep in at a key time to allow snow to fall during all or part of the storm from the Appalachians to portions of the mid-Atlantic and New England coasts.

Travel delays and disruptions to daily activities are likely, regardless of whether the storm yields snow, rain or both.

However, which form of precipitation falls will depend on the exact track and strength of the storm.

"Until the storm actually forms, it will be difficult to resolve the exact storm track," AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Elliot Abrams said.

"As has been the case with recent storms, there will be a sharp gradient line between one place getting a big snowstorm and a lot of rain," Abrams said.

A storm path just inland of the coast would result in a warmer scenario in the swath from the Interstate 95 corridor to the beaches with mostly rain.

A storm track slightly offshore might allow coastal areas to be cold enough for snow during all or most of the storm.
