...Snowstorm Watch in effect from 8pm Tuesday through 12pm Thursday...
A strong surface low pressure will develop off the Mid-Atlantic coast Tuesday Night and continue to do so Wednesday into Thursday. This storm system will deepen rapidly and spread heavy precipitation into the forecast area. This is most likely to occur during the day on Wednesday. Forecast models are in good agreement that the area will be impacted by moderate to heavy amounts of precipitation. Plenty of cold air, especially inland, suggests that the dominant precipitation type will be snow with this system. That said, the system is still two days away and any shift in track closer to the coast could mean a more prolonged period of liquid or mixed precipitation along the immediate coasts.
At this time it appears likely that at least 6 inches of snow will fall across much of the tri state area. Where the heaviest area of precipitation develops will be dictated by the exact track of the low pressure area. Still, confidence is increasing that much of the area will be impacted by this system. The strong low pressure also ensures that high winds will be a concern as the system begins to pull northeast. At this time, snow accumulations of 8 to 15 inches are possible across the entire area. That said, these amounts could very well be much higher within the banding and potentially lower in areas that are on the dry side of any sharp precipitation cutoff. This will likely be a high impact system that will impact travel on Wednesday and potentially Thursday.
There is still significant uncertainty with this system. Please stay tuned for more updates and safety information.
