Incoming Storm Update


NWS Weather Prediction Center:

Precipiation chances will begin to expand to the East Coast on Thursday as the upper-level low and associated surface fronts move eastward, with a coastal low forming near the Carolinas and moving up the coast. Winter Storm Watches have been issued for portions of the Interior Northeast along the Northern and Central Appalachians. Freezing rain totals between 0.1-.25 inches, locally higher, will be possible in the Central Appalachians of western Virginia, eastern West Virginia, the Maryland Panhandle, and central/Western Pennsylvania. The precipitation will transition to more of a snow threat further north into New York, with 4-8 inches, locally higher at elevation in the mountains, possible through Thursday morning. Portions of Pennsylvania will be most likely to see a mix of freezing rain and snow. The snowfall will continue and move further north into New England by Friday. Closer to the coast, although precipitation will remain mostly rain, some light but impactful freezing rain, sleet, and snow may mix in during the Thursday morning commute along the I-95 corridor. Otherwise, moderate to heavy rainfall will continue through the day with totals upwards of 1-2 inches for the Mid-Atlantic. Rainrates should remain steady enough throughout the day to preclude any risk of flash flooding. High temperatures will remain in the 30s and 40s for the region.
