THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED BY
LATER THIS AFTERNOON...AS THE SURFACE LOW BEGINS TO DEEPEN ALONG
THE MID-ATLANTIC COASTLINE. THE ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO
MOVE SOUTHWARD...USHERING A BITTERLY COLD AIR MASS INTO THE
MID-ATLANTIC STATES. SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO EXPAND AND INTENSIFY
ACROSS THE MID-ATLANTIC AND NORTHEAST THIS AFTERNOON AS THE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM ORGANIZES. SNOW SHOULD BEGIN TO TAPER OFF ACROSS
THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES LATE THIS EVENING AND ACROSS THE NORTHEAST
WEDNESDAY MORNING. THROUGH WEDNESDAY...SNOWFALL AMOUNTS OF 4 TO 9
INCHES WILL BE COMMON FROM VIRGINIA AND WEST VIRGINIA
NORTHEASTWARD TO SOUTHERN NEW YORK. HEAVIER SNOWFALL AMOUNTS OF 12
TO 20 INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR PORTIONS OF EASTERN LONG ISLAND
AND SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. IN ADDITION TO THE SNOW...THE DEEPENING
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL RESULT IN THE POTENTIAL FOR
STRONG...GUSTY WINDS OF 30 TO 40 MPH AT TIMES. THESE WINDS WILL
RESULT IN BITTERLY COLD WIND CHILLS BELOW ZERO IN SOME CASES...AS
WELL AS REDUCED VISIBILITIES FROM BLOWING SNOW. WIND GUSTS AS HIGH
AS 50 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER PARTS OF COASTAL NEW ENGLAND THIS
EVENING...RESULTING IN THE POTENTIAL FOR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS.   

THE NEXT STORM SUMMARY WILL BE ISSUED BY THE WEATHER PREDICTION
CENTER AT 400 PM EST. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR LOCAL NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE OFFICE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS EVENT.
