Snow Slides South of Northeast from DC to AC Today, Bowling Ball of Storms Here to Stay 

As the hits keep on hitting wanted to jump on real quick for those from DC to AC up to Route 78 in NJ. Let’s go over the timing and totals for later today into Wednesday morning for our next event. This narrow, southern track has a very sharp gradient on the northern edge for the haves and have nots. This boundary line will bounce a bit north/south on the models but needless to say, a few miles will separate a dusting on one side and 3-6″.  

Timing 

As far timing, axis of snow moving west to east arrives in DC area over to Millsboro, DE this afternoon between 2-4pm, into SNJ on north between 6-9pm and pushing north against LI between 8-10pm. This of course makes for a difficult evening commute so plan accordingly. Snow tapers off by daybreak Wednesday across entire region. 

Totals

Adding to the season total of 8.4″, DC could receive an additional 3-5″. This will be a traveling nightmare for city since the city shuts down when there’s just a dusting. For my friends in Millsboro, DE look also for 3-5″. From Cape May up to AC it’s a good bet for also 3-5″.  A sharp cutoff is LBI. Further north to Rumson to Rahway, up to I78 and over to Ronkonkoma, look a dusting up to an inch or 2″. Nada for Hudson Valley and CT on north. 

Wednesday Night Into Thursday Storm

Initial idea is rain for I95 cities but sleet and freezing rain away from the coast for Thursday morning. I’ll circle back w details shortly.

This Weekend, Double Trouble

This looks like we have 2 systems hitting the northeast beginning Saturday afternoon/evening followed by another on Sunday. Front end light to moderate snow accumulation, especially for southern New England and foothills of NNJ and HV. Backend storm more complex with a mix of elements from windswept rain along the coast, sleet/ice storm inland further north with plowable snow on its tale. A complex situation indeed, which I’ll be all over later this week. 

That’s it for now. I wasn’t kidding on my 2/5 post on the bowling ball of storms for this month, and I’m still sniffing out the double B (not jinxing it by writing it so look back at 2/5 post title) this month! Oh and Arctic blasts still the cards. Heck it was minus 2°F this morning at WeatherReMarks headquarters! Circle back shortly, travel day for me. Remember, weather never sleeps!
