The potential exists for a significant snowstorm across the following counties.
Low pressure over Montana will continue to move to the ESE and merge with a low pressure that will develop over the TX/OK panhandle. This low pressure will then move ENE to Southern Indiana . From there this low pressure will move east across southern ohio and then across the Pa/MD border until it reaches the east coast. At this time it should cross across southern NJ as it makes the turn Northeast up the Eastern Seaboard.
This low pressure area will tap into moisture from the Gulf of Mexico. With cold air at the surface and the S/W going to the south of the area a heavy swath of snow will fall to the north of the low pressure center. Temperatures will be in the 20s to low 30s from North to south across the region.
The potential exists for the first widespread snowstorm of the season across the area. Please stay tune to later updates as more information becomes available and is analyzed...
