THE SURFACE LOW OFF THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST IS FORECAST TO RAPIDLY
INTENSIFY AS IT CONTINUES TO MOVE NORTH-NORTHEAST ALONG THE COAST
THROUGH TONIGHT BEFORE MOVING INTO EASTERN MAINE WEDNESDAY
MORNING. SNOW, HEAVY AT TIMES, WILL CONTINUE INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY
FROM PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN APPALACHIANS TO NEW
ENGLAND. SNOW WILL GRADUALLY BEGIN TO TAPER OFF WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM PULLS AWAY FROM
NEW ENGLAND INTO SOUTHEASTERN CANADA. ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL AMOUNTS
OF 1 TO 2 FEET ARE FORECAST ACROSS INTERIOR PORTIONS OF THE
NORTHEAST, WITH 5 TO 10 INCHES OF ADDITIONAL SNOW POSSIBLE ACROSS
THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS AND NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE MID-ATLANTIC
REGION. WIND GUSTS TO 45 MPH MAY COMBINE WITH HEAVY SNOW TO CREATE
BLIZZARD CONDITIONS FOR SOME AREAS OF THE NORTHERN MID-ATLANTIC
AND NORTHEAST WITH WHITEOUT CONDITIONS POSSIBLE. IN THESE AREAS
TRAVEL WILL BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS OR EVEN IMPOSSIBLE. SNOW MAY
MIX WITH OR CHANGE TO SLEET OR FREEZING RAIN AT TIMES FOR AREAS
CLOSE TO THE COAST FROM THE NORTHERN MID-ATLANTIC TO NEW ENGLAND.
FREEZING RAIN ACCUMULATIONS WILL GENERALLY BE LIGHT BUT MAY EXCEED
A TENTH OF AN INCH ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.
PORTIONS OF THE MID-ATLANTIC AND NORTHEAST COASTLINE WILL ALSO SEE
THE POTENTIAL FOR COASTAL FLOODING. TIDAL ANOMALIES OF UP TO 3
FEET ARE POSSIBLE WHICH COULD FLOOD VULNERABLE WATERFRONT OR
SHORELINE ROADS AND PROPERTIES.
THE NEXT STORM SUMMARY WILL BE ISSUED BY THE WEATHER PREDICTION
CENTER AT 500 PM EDT. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR LOCAL NATIONAL WEATHER
