Level 3 Alert has been issued for MD/PA/NJ/NYC/LI into the NE with the exception of Cape Cod. Level 3 means a Winter Storm is taking aim on the region and looks to potentially drop a significant amount of snow/sleet or ZR across the region.
Low pressure will develop off the SE tomorrow and will begin to move slowly up the eastern seaboard passing off the Delmarva before moving NW towards NYC . This low pressure as it moves slowly along the eastern seaboard will undergo rapid intensification and be in the 979-982 MB range. This low pressure looks to stall across the area and actually retrograde. Due to the rapid intensification of this low pressure and its strengths winds will also be increasing and wind gusts over 45 mph will not be out of the question. This will cause blowing and drifting of the snow and create Blizzard Conditions during the day on thursday.
This storm has the potential to drop between 1-2 feet of snow across a good portion of the area and 6-12 elsewhere.
Travel conditions are expected to deteriorate quite rapidly during the day on thursday and Real Weather Services recommends that you do not travel unless you absolutely have to.
This storm could very easily turn into a blizzard for alot of regions and rate pretty high in the Nesis rating scale!
Stay tuned to further updates on this developing situation!
