THE INTENSE LOW PRESSURE CENTER OFF CAPE COD IS EXPECTED TO REACH
ITS PEAK INTENSITY THIS MORNING BEFORE PULLING SLOWLY AWAY FROM
THE NEW ENGLAND COAST. HEAVY SNOW ALONG WITH HURRICANE FORCE WIND
GUSTS CAN BE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ACROSS MUCH OF NEW ENGLAND EARLY
THIS MORNING BEFORE BEGINNING TO SLOWLY TAPER OFF FROM WEST TO
EAST LATER IN THE MORNING AND INTO THE AFTERNOON. STORM TOTAL
SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS OF 2 TO 3 FEET...ARE EXPECTED ACROSS PARTS
OF EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS...CONNECTICUT AND RHODE ISLAND. IN
ADDITION TO THE HEAVY SNOWFALL... WIND GUSTS OF UP TO HURRICANE
FORCE ARE POSSIBLE EARLY TODAY...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE COAST...
BEFORE THEY SLOWLY SUBSIDE THROUGH THE REST OF THE DAY. THIS WILL
RESULT IN CONSIDERABLE BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF THE SNOW ON THE
GROUND. TRAVEL CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO BE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS
IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE.
THE NEXT STORM SUMMARY WILL BE ISSUED BY THE HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL
PREDICTION CENTER AT 1000 AM EST. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR LOCAL
