Very cold weather will be pushed into the Northeast, the Ohio River Valley, the Mid-Atlantic, and even the Southeast by this storm system. That will prepare us for our next storm system in the middle of the week. This one could bring a lot of snow to parts of Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware. Heavy snow and wind are still unknown for New York, Pennsylvania, northwest New Jersey, and up into New England. However, the Mid-Atlantic is becoming more likely to have a pretty big winter.
Low pressure will move across the Gulf States after leaving the Rockies and going deep into Texas. As it does, that storm will pull moisture and energy from the Gulf and send moderate to heavy snow back to parts of Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Kentucky. Parts of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama could get hit by severe weather in the warm part of our storm. This is especially true near the Gulf Coast. As low pressure builds and the air pressure difference gets stronger, you should be ready for big hail, damaging winds, and storms.
It will then be picked up by the jet stream, which will send it up the East Coast. I think there will be heavy snow in eastern and northern Virginia, central and eastern Maryland, and Delaware. We’ll see how far north it can go before being pushed out to sea. There could also be a moderate to heavy amount of snow in southern New Jersey and snow that builds up in the upper and extreme northeastern parts of North Carolina.
We’ll also keep a close eye on the wind as the low-pressure area deepens with the help of the Atlantic Ocean and the jet stream’s ability to turn northward. If the low pressure is deep enough, heavy snow, poor vision, and other conditions that could lead to a blizzard could happen. So far, the heaviest snow that is expected to fall is in the 1-foot or more range. This will depend on how long low pressure stays in the area.
This will still happen between late Wednesday and early Thursday, with everything going out to see late Thursday. We’ll also keep an eye on Long Island and the New York City metro area to see if our storm moves a little further north. Should it happen, the area might get a lot of snow.
