Short and sweet discussion as it is getting quite late. Anyway you cut it, our area is in for a snowstorm starting Sunday afternoon and perhaps lasting as long as Tuesday. Guidance has begun to converge on a solution which brings the low from the Gulf of Mexico NE to about 100-150 miles off the VA Capes, stalls it off the NJ coast, and tries to pull the storm off to the NE early Tuesday. High winds, tidal flooding, and severe beach erosion seems all but destined to occur. Near blizzard conditions will occur during the day on Monday for many areas including the Delaware Valley. At this point, looks like the heaviest snow band sets up just to our South and East, but we still see quite heavy snow from the system with totals in excess of a foot likely!! Sorry for the extremely short discussion prior to this possibly historic March weather event, but time is limited. Final pre-storm update available after midnight Saturday. Take care.
