It looks like the Winter Storm that all the models have been hyping the last couple of weeks is going to be a reality. This storm will affect a large swath of the Mid Atlantic in a full range of Winter Weather. Freezing rain will be an issue in North Carolina near the coast while farther inland, Winter Weather advisories will be in place. Along the Jersey Shore, a coastal flood watch has been issued for the possibility of major coastal flooding, especially from Atlantic County south.

As you can see in the precipitation graphic, areas to the south including New Jersey and New York will likely start out as snow but then a mix will later develop. New England should see all snow.
The Snow Depth graphic from the GFS model gives an idea what to expect in the way of snow accumulations.

Potential Ice Storm Heading For New Jersey
The combination of low pressure developing in the Mississippi Valley and low pressure off the Carolina coast will be monitored through the night to be sure the forecast and development are on track. The potential for a significant ice storm event is possible.
For starters, the precipitation will start as snow in most locations. However, the track of the surface low will shortwave aloft will will result in good SW flow which will warm the upper levels of the atmosphere. This warming will change the precipitation to a sleet and freezing rain mix. The expectation is for moderate to heavy precipitation.
Significant Snowfall Possible In Southern New England
A significant snowfall event is possible across much of Southern New England as a low pressure area tracks between Nantucket and the 40N/70W location. In addition, another snow event is possible over the weekend.
Overall, there is significant confidence that a winter storm will impact the souther New England area. The expected impact will be late Tuesday night through Wednesday.
There is some uncertainty with snowfall totals as the models tend to shift back and forth in regard to the air temperatures. This can make a significant difference either way in the snow totals.
The Deep South Tries To Recover After Rare Winter Storm
A rare winter storm has left the deep all but paralyzed. Snow, freezing rain and sleet have made many roads slick and in some cases almost impossible to navigate. As many as 50 million Americans have been affected by this freak winter storm.
In the cities of Atlanta and Birmingham traffic is still at a gridlock with some folks still trapped in their cars since yesterday. Many just abandoned their cars and headed to shelters.
Rare Winter Storm Headed To The Southeast States
Some major normally warm weather tourist areas are going to be hit with a rare Winter storm. Places such as Charleston, SC, Savannah, Ga., Pensacola, Fla., and New Orleans are going to receive a mixture of snow and ice Tuesday and Wednesday. Some schools are already planning half days and will likely be closed tomorrow in advance of the severe weather. More then 1,800 flights have already been cancelled.
Snow Chances Decreasing for East Coast
Hi everybody. The models are now more confident in building the storm that was supposed to hit the East Coast well offshore. This will lessen the chances of a major snow event. A Wintry mix is still possible along parts of the East Coast and travel could still be impacted so stay tuned to your local media for updates in your area.
In Florida, the nice weather will continue with pleasant temperatures during the day and cool temperatures at night.

Models are “Backing Off” of Major Winter Storm
Hi everybody. There might be some good news for the folks along the east coast US. Todays model guidance is backing off on the idea of a major Winter Storm. Snow will still be there but the system is not expected to gain steam until it is already off-shore. This will result in the storm forming too far offshore to affect New England. This is definitely a matter of timing and we are still watching to see what happens.
The Wintry mix could spread as far south as the Carolinas.
Vigorous Winter Storm Expected for East Coast
Hi everybody. If the bitter cold temperatures are not enough for you we have another ingredient to add to the mix. A vigorous snow storm could affect the east coast including Massachusetts. Two storm systems are going to meet near the East coast US and then move towards New England as a Winter Storm.
The timing for the system to hit the North East appears to be a late Friday to Early Saturday event. Since we are 3 days out these time frames could change. Because of the cold temperatures, all snow is forecast. There should be no periods of rain.
