AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF EXTREME EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA...MUCH OF
NEW JERSEY...DELAWARE...EASTERN MARYLAND...AND FAR EASTERN VIRGINIA
CONCERNING...BLIZZARD
VALID 222158Z - 230200Z
SUMMARY...MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW SHOULD CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING.
1+ INCH/HOUR RATES REMAIN POSSIBLE IN SPOTS. BLIZZARD CONDITIONS MAY
BEGIN WITHIN THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
DISCUSSION...21Z MESOANALYSIS INDICATES THAT THE SURFACE LOW,
LOCATED EAST OF THE DELAWARE COASTLINE, HAS STRENGTHENED TO 998 MB,
WITH SURFACE OBSERVATIONS ALONG THE COAST SHOWING NORTHEASTERLY
SURFACE GUSTS APPROACHING 20 KTS IN SPOTS. 700 MB WAA AND
FRONTOGENESIS CONTINUES TO INTENSIFY ALONG THE DE/NJ COASTLINE, AND
SHOULD STRENGTHEN FURTHER WITH SURFACE LOW INTENSIFICATION. 1+
INCH/HR SNOWFALL RATES ARE LIKELY UNDERWAY, AND SHOULD ONLY BECOME
MORE COMMON WITH TIME. FURTHERMORE, SURFACE LOW INTENSIFICATION WILL
RESULT IN INCREASED GRADIENT FLOW ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC COASTLINE,
WHERE BLIZZARD CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE. THE CURRENT THINKING IS
THAT BLIZZARD CONDITIONS WILL MOST LIKELY DEVELOP IN THE NEXT FEW
HOURS.
