Synopsis:
A storm will continue to intensify today off the Mid-Atlantic coast. The latest computer models are in unison. A Spring snowstorm will occur. Wet snow and or rain will become more widespread during the morning hours. The brunt of the storm will be from late morning through late evening. At this time the storm will only very slowly move off our coast. The snow could come down at 1″-2″/hr at times. Whiteout conditions are possible with thunder snow. Unfortunately power outages and tree damage is once again possible.
A Winter Storm Warning has been posted for the entire area for the likelihood of 6″-12″ or more of snow. There will be a sharp cutoff to the heavy snow amounts to the North and Northwest (see map above).
The sun angle will play into the equation of how much snow will stick during the daylight hours (it has to snow at a very good rate for snow to accumulate during the day). Also, the big question is where do the heavy bands of snow setup as the rotate off the ocean. This will be another factor in what locations get high amounts of snow.
It will be windy with gusts up to 50mph at the coast. Coastal flooding is possible during the times of high tide today.
