Category 4 Blizzard To Hit Northeast Later Monday into Tuesday

A category four blizzard out of our one through five system will hit the Northeastern United States later Monday into Tuesday, bringing high amounts of snowfall, extremely gusty damaging winds, and treacherous travel conditions from New York City to Boston, and over through Maine.  Continue reading on for the details.

Energy transfer looks to happen across the Atlantic later Monday and as this does so we will be be seeing an increase in both the winds and heavy snowfall conditions across the areas with more than 10-15 inches of snowfall forecast in our model.  This model imaged in this article is our first call preliminary with the final call happening tomorrow afternoon/evening as the storm comes in, when we finally can see the surface low fully developed and able to track it.

Many models have New York City buried in 2-3 feet of snowfall.  However we will be running conservative due to the fact we think those are being over done.  NYC median will be 10″ and on the western edge of the main heavy snow swath.  The gusty winds will happen there for Blizzard Conditions, however gusty hurricane force winds may be likely for Eastern Long Island and Southern RI, possibly into parts of the Boston offshore areas around Cape Cod, MA as well later Monday night.

For those areas, expecting a large deformation zone to form and thus in parts of CT/MA/NH we may be seeing over 20″+ of snowfall.  These will be in heavier bands where a major decline will happen the further west you go to Albany, NY only at 2-4″, same with Philadelphia, Pittsburgh holding around the 7″ mark, and Southern NJ southward 2″ or lower.

We will reintroduce into this forecast tomorrow as the surface low forms.  You will get further products.  We will be issuing our Blizzard Warning by tomorrow morning/afternoon at least but for now you in the blizzard zones (red/magenta) should prepare for those conditions.
