Nor’easter update

The extremely powerful nor’easter scheduled for Sunday will hit Saturday night will drop 4-8 inches along the coast with slightly higher amounts inland.

This is a VERY hard forecast with most of the global models pointing to a potent storm undergoing cyclogenesis around 40N 70W with heavy snow bands wrapping onshore late saturday night. The proximity to land and exact track will play a VERY important role in the  forecast for snow and wind. A more westerly track will limit the snowfall totals due to rain changeover. If this westerly track were to play out than we would have a potentially historic ice storm on our hands.

If the system were to track slightly east than the coast would see a lot of snow with totals approaching a foot or more. This track is suggested by the GFS and WRF models

We will have to see what track plays out and I will post updates as needed.

Stay tuned
