Winter Storm Adjusts Slightly East, To Bury LI & New England -

When we first discussed this storm on Tuesday, we mentioned a 100 or 200 mile shift in storm track would make all the difference for Pennsylvania. By Wednesday and Thursday models such as the Euro (which has the highest verification score) shifted west and slammed Pennsylvania for several runs straight. By Friday, modeling indicated the storm would be farther east as originally modeled back on Tuesday, and that the bulk of this system would miss Pennsylvania and even New England. Now, recent runs have moved enough west to bury New England and Long Island but miss PA.

Snow will begin in Southern New Jersey and Long Island Sunday Evening before intensifying and moving into Southeast New England Sunday Night. By Monday Morning snow will be over in New Jersey and finishing up in Long Island. As you head into areas such as Boston, snow will continue into Early Monday Afternoon before ending. The heaviest snow will fall in Eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island where as much as a foot of snow could fall. Even locations such as Hartford, CT, Worcester, MA, and Portland, ME will receive 4-6″ of snow.

Roadways will be most significantly impacted across Eastern Massachusetts, Eastern Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Down-east Maine. In these areas travel will be hazardous Monday.

Josh has been passionate about weather as long as his memory dates! From watching the Weather Channel at age 7, to making hand-drawn hurricane maps at age 11, starting his first weather site at 13, and founding PWA at 15 and forecasting for the state for the past 9 years, Josh's interest in weather has never dwindled! As difficult as it is, he greatly enjoys forecasting for Pennsylvania due to its countless microclimates. The state is an East Coast severe weather hotspot and nearly always home to the rain/snow line during winter storms!
