THE DEEP SURFACE LOW IS EXPECTED TO FURTHER INTENSIFY AS IT MOVES
NORTH-NORTHEAST JUST OFF THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST TONIGHT.
INCREASING WINDS COMBINED WITH HEAVY SNOW ARE EXPECTED TO
OVERSPREAD NEW JERSEY AND SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND FROM TONIGHT INTO
EARLY MONDAY MORNING...CREATING BLIZZARD CONDITIONS NEAR THE COAST
AS THE LOW LINGERS TO THE SOUTHEAST OF LONG ISLAND. BY MONDAY
AFTERNOON...THE LOW IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE GULF OF
MAINE...BRINGING THE HEAVY SNOW POTENTIAL NORTHWARD TO MAINE AS
SNOW TAPERS OFF ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. TOTAL SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS OF 3 TO 6 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE OVER EASTERN VIRGINIA
AND MARYLAND...WITH HEAVIER SNOW ACCUMULATIONS NORTH OF THE
DELMARVA INTO THE NEW ENGLAND STATES. AN AREA OF 12 TO 18 INCHES

DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE WILL DETERMINE WHERE THE BAND OF HIGHEST
SNOWFALL TOTALS WILL FALL. RESIDENTS ALONG THE ENTIRE EASTERN
