The cyclone will rapidly strengthen as it continues to move
northeastward offshore parallel to the east coast. Heavy snow will
taper off this morning but chances for light snow is possible
along northern portions of the East Coast, especially near
Massachusetts, Cape Cod and surrounding islands. High winds,
occasionally seeing gusts over 60 mph, are anticipated for the
coastal Atlantic from the Carolinas to Cape Cod. Travel conditions
may become hazardous with the combination of snow and high winds.
Coastal areas may also see coastal flooding and high waves from
the strong winds. The continued Arctic air mass in wake of the
storm will bring hazardously cold temperatures and wind chills
across the South and East. Cold weather precautions should be
taken. Winter weather threat will diminish this evening as the
system departs further northeast by Sunday evening.

The next Storm Summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction
Center at 1000 PM EST. Please refer to your local National Weather
Service office for additional information on this event.
