DISCUSSION: An Upper Level Low in the midwest is heading eastward as a storm in the SE moves northward. They will combine to form a storm off of Delaware/southern New Jersey. Light snow starts later tonight, then becomes heavy with strong winds making blizzard conditions Wednesday afternoon. The snow ends after midnight with 12-16" on the ground. The south fork could have some sleet/rain mix in during the morning, holding down that accumulation some. Skies clear for Thursday, but it stays windy so the snow will be blowing around. This is a dangerous situation, so don't go outside if you don't have to.
FORECAST*: TONIGHT cloudy with snow developing just after midnight with accumulation of 2 to 3 inches by dawn in the upper 20s. WEDNESDAY cloudy with snow, a chance of sleet/rain in the morning over the eastend, then everyone gets all snow, heavy at times, in the afternoon with areas of blowing snow as it gets very windy with accumulations of 9 to 14 inches and near steady temperatures in the low 30s. Northeast winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 40 mph. WEDNESDAY NIGHT cloudy with the steady snow in the evening, then scattered snow showers after midnight and windy with areas of blowing snow and a total snow accumulation of 12 to 18 inches and near steady temperatures in the low 30s. North winds 25 to 30 mph with gusts up to 45 mph. THURSDAY cloudy with areas of blowing in the morning, then becoming partly sunny and continued windy with in the mid 30s.
