be confused for an official watch, warning or advisory...
In New Jersey: Coastal Monmouth, Coastal Ocean,
In New York: Nassau, Suffolk
In Connecticut: Coastal Fairfield, Coastal New Haven
...Blizzard Warning in effect from 6am Wednesday through 6am Thursday...
A significant coastal storm will move northeast from the Carolinas to off the New Jersey and Mid Atlantic coasts Tuesday Night into Wednesday. The low pressure is expected to rapidly deepen to pressures lower than 980mb just south of the coast of Long Island.
Forecast guidance has come into good agreement that the area will experience very heavy precipitation, most frozen, in response to this severe storm system. Although the track of the coastal low could mean some precipitation type issues along the immediate coasts and eastern Long Island, significant snowfall accumulations are still expected to fall within the Blizzard Alert. Generally, snowfall accumulations of 8 to 14 inches are expected with lower amounts along the immediate coast. In addition to the heavy precipitation, the strength of the coastal low will introduce very strong winds into the area as a significant hazard. Wind gusts within the blizzard alert are expected to reach in excess of 45 miles per hour at times. This will create significant blowing and drifting of snow as well as hazardous conditions for those who are traveling or outdoors. The heavy snow rates and winds will may travel impossible.
There is still some uncertainty with this system, but it is expected to be a high impact event. Please stay tuned for more information and updates, as well as your local National Weather Service for official safety information.
...A Blizzard Alert means that blizzard or near blizzard conditions are expected to occur over the next 36 hours or are occurring. Significant amounts of snow coupled with extremely low visibilities and high winds will make travel nearly impossible. Travel is not recommended. Please refer to your winter weather safety procedures...
