Tuesday’s Weather

A coastal storm will bring heavy rain & wind early today with some sunny breaks this afternoon with highs in the low-mid 50s.

Storm ending around noon.

A major coastal storm will produce heavy snows and strong coastal winds which will result in power outages across the Northeast. Winds along the coast will be strong with gusts up to 35 to 60 mph over New England. The storm will become a sub 990 Mb low which is a strong storm for this time of the year. Given the heavy nature of the snow and the thundersnow that will occur, snow rates will be 1-2″ per hour from PA into NY and that will bring down tree limbs and power lines. The White Mountains will get 5-8″ of wet snow. Heavy rains and thunderstorms will produce minor flooding problems. The storm will end around noon.
