Blizzard likely Tuesday with widespread significant snowfall
A powerful Nor’Easter is expected to develop off the coast of Mid Atlantic late Monday Night, strengthening and moving to a position southeast of Long Island on Tuesday. Bands of extremely heavy snowfall are expected to rotate inland from the strong storm system, impacting a large majority of the Northeast United States from Washington, DC to Boston — and most areas in between. Snowfall amounts are expected to be significant over a large area.
The storm system is developing as a result of a complex interaction in the mid and upper levels of the atmosphere, and some uncertainty still exists in regards to the exact track of the storm system. However, confidence is higher than normal that the storm system itself will bring significant impacts. We suggest planning ahead and adjusting your schedule as necessary to accommodate for significantly impactful weather on Tuesday. We’ve laid out a breakdown of the storm system below.
