A coastal storm system developing off the coast of the Mid-Atlantic states will strengthen Tuesday into Wednesday and move northeast towards Cape Cod. The storm system is expected to bring heavy snow to the area overnight Tuesday into Wednesday morning. The snow should be heaviest Wednesday morning as the system makes it's closest pass to the area. Within the heavier snow...reduced visibilities within heavy snow and some wind will make travel very difficult. Please plan accordingly and ahead of time.
There is still some uncertainty in regard to the storm track. A further west track would result in much heavier snow totals, while a further east track would keep snow totals on the lower side of the forecast amounts. Currently, 6 to 12 inches of snow are forecast within the warning area, with higher amounts to the east..and lower amounts to the south and west.
