Synopsis:
A major snowstorm will affect much of the region into Tuesday. The storm will intensify off the Delaware and NJ through Tuesday and only slowly drift up and off our coastline. This is a classic track for a snowstorm in the metropolitan area (the exception being coastal Central & Southern NJ). The sharp cutoff of the accumulating snow continues to be over Eastern Long Island and coastal NJ where rain and a mix occurred. In this area mixed precipitation will change back to snow overnight.
Winter Storm Warnings are up for the entire tri-state area. The “3rd Call” possible snow amounts have been posted above. A foot of snow and then some is likely for a majority of the region. Some areas may receive 20″+. The possible snow amounts will be fine tuned throughout the storm.
The storm will likely be of long duration -over 36 hours , continuing on and off through Tuesday. Coastal flooding will also occur at times of high tide.
The storm will pull away from the East coast Wednesday. The sun will return and it will be time to dig out.
Stay Tuned.
