Snow, Winds, Thunder & Flooding all in one system!

Severe Zone

Winter

First severe map of the season and its in winter time instead of spring or summer. The area highlighted above is mainly highlighted for the area where the strongest winds are possible with the approaching cold front but also where there could be thunderstorms. Thunder storms will be dependent on whether we can get some clearing and daytime heating which will help to further destabalize things.

Otherwise  expect an area of low pressure to move from the Southwest to Ohio and continuing to move NE from there so its in a position over down east Maine by Saturday evening. Some of the southern regions of the snow zone will start with a wintery mix …mean while its possible in places like the poconos and NW NJ and western PA that we may end with a little bit of wintery mix or snow..Other wise we can expect heavy rain with the potential for flooding and thunderstorms thru the region except to the north where the cold air will be deeper and snow will take place.
