Storm Watch

Winter is still raging as a storm watch is in effect for the area until Monday according to NOAA. The coastal low which is centered near North Carolina is predicted to move Northeast bringing rain/sleet/snow to the region, with the potential for 8 inches of snow accumulation for some parts of the tri-state area. The storm could possibly bring major snowfall amounts from Virgina to New England. In viewing the GFS, the model looks ideal for wintry atmospheric conditions. The low is along to coast gaining the moisture from the ocean, as warm air blows in from the south and a high of cold air remains to the north. Looks like we’ll be getting most of it Sunday night into Monday.
