...Snowstorm Warning in effect from 8am Wednesday through 8am 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 receive very heavy precipitation amounts as a result of track of this storm system. In many ways, the track and strength of this low pressure system is "textbook" for heavy synoptic snow in a noreaster. Snow is expected to begin early Wednesday morning and continue during the day, becoming heavy mid-day. Many areas underneath the heavier snow will experience whiteout or near whiteout conditions. Snow will continue through early Thursday Night and then taper off from west to east. Total snowfall accumulations are currently expected to range from 10 to 16 inches across the warning area. Lighter amounts are forecast to the north across our northern counties, while higher amounts are forecast near the higher model precipitation output and forecast heavy bands of precipitation.
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 area are expected to reach in excess of 25 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 may make travel extremely difficult if not impossible at times.
...A Snowstorm Warning means that significant snow, sleet, or ice accumulations are expected over the next 36 hours or are imminent. These will significantly impact travel, which may become extremely difficult if not impossible at times. Continue to monitor the latest forecasts...
