... WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 4 PM TUESDAY TO MIDNIGHT EST WEDNESDAY NIGHT...
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY HAS ISSUED A WINTER STORM
WARNING... WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 4 PM TUESDAY TO MIDNIGHT EST
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE WINTER STORM WATCH IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT.
LOW PRESSURE MOVING FROM THE TEXAS GULF COAST TONIGHT WILL HEAD INTO
THE OHIO VALLEY TUESDAY. THAT LOW WILL GIVE UP ITS ENERGY TO A COASTAL
STORM... WHICH WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE NORTHERN NORTH CAROLINA COAST
LATE TUESDAY AND TUESDAY EVENING. BY WEDNESDAY MORNING... THIS
NOR/EASTER IS FORECAST TO INTENSIFY STRONGLY JUST SOUTHEAST OF OUR
AREA... AND LIKELY BRINGING HEAVY SNOW TO A GOOD PART OF OUR AREA
OVERNIGHT TUESDAY INTO THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY.
SOUTHEAST OF INTERSTATE 95 THE SNOW MAY MIX WITH SLEET AND RAIN AT
TIMES DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY. THIS IS MORE
LIKELY CLOSER TO THE COAST. BUT AS COLDER AIR WRAPS AROUND THE STORM
EVEN THESE AREAS ARE EXPECTED TO CHANGE BACK TO ALL SNOW.
TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM 10 TO 18 INCHES
WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS OVER THE NORTHERN EASTERN SHORE OF MARYLAND,
NORTHERN DELAWARE AND EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA. HEAVY SNOW SHOULD OCCUR IN
TWO BURSTS ACROSS THE REGION. THE FIRST WILL OCCUR TUESDAY NIGHT WITH
FOUR TO EIGHT INCHES LIKELY TO ACCUMULATE BY THE MORNING COMMUTE
WEDNESDAY. THE SECOND SHOT WILL BE AN EVEN MORE INTENSE BURST OF HEAVY
SNOW WITH THE UPPER AIR DISTURBANCE ITSELF THAT SHOULD OCCUR IN THE
PHILADELPHIA AREA, MARYLAND AND DELAWARE DURING WEDNESDAY MORNING AND
NEW JERSEY AND NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA DURING WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. THE
SNOW WILL END BY MIDNIGHT WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
WINDS WILL INCREASE AS WEDNESDAY CONTINUES AND WILL CAUSE CONSIDERABLE
BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF SNOW, EVEN MORE THAN WHAT OCCURRED WITH THE
WEEKEND SNOW STORM. AT AND NEAR THE ATLANTIC SHORE BLIZZARD CONDITIONS
ARE POSSIBLE LATER IN THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY AS WINDS INCREASE.
A WINTER STORM WARNING MEANS SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF SNOW AND SLEET ARE
EXPECTED OR OCCURRING. STRONG WINDS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE. THIS WILL MAKE
TRAVEL VERY HAZARDOUS OR IMPOSSIBLE.
More Information
