STORM OVERVIEW
A major nor'easter system is currently impacting the northeast, and will continue to make it's effects felt for the next day or so. Major impacts include heavy snow, sleet, rain, and gusty winds. Localized accumulations in the jackpot zones marked in last night's map may exceed ten to twelve inches...
Update #1 10:00am
As more steady precip has moved in, many areas in PA, NY, and NJ have mixed with or changed over to snow. This process is possible due to dynamic cooling, as the downward motion of the precipitation brings down cold air from the upper levels. Many areas currently near the rain-snow line will continue to see wintry precip until a warm nose in the mid levels begins to warm the column.
2 meter temps as of 14z (9am). Freezing line is indicated by the darker purple. |
RADAR ANALYSIS #1 Area in RED is expected to see the highest accumulations of the next one to three hours |
