R.W.S Special Weather Statement
Potential Winter Storm to effect the area.
Low pressure developing over the southwest USA early this morning will head eastward and tap into moisture from the Gulf Of Mexico. This area of low pressure will move Northeast from the Gulf of Mexico thru the Mississippi Valley as it heads towards the Ohio Valley.
With a Greenland Block in place and a strong -NAO ..this primary will hit a brick wall of confluence and be forced to hand off its energy to a secondary area of low pressure. The development of this secondary low pressure is still not agreed upon by models. However, the area for development should be the Delmarva to just south of LI. WAA will spread out ahead of the primary low and will run over the top of lower level cold air. CAD will be firmly entrenched across the areas N & W of I-95.
The potential exists for a couple inches of snow followed by a long duration of ice. The potential exists in the above regions for .25 + ice. The potential exists for a dangerous ice storm.
Please stay tuned for future statements about this potentially dangerous storm from R.W.S.
