Increasing Odds Of Coastal Storm Impact Starting Monday Night. Modeling indicates that the system responsible for todays rains will feed into a developing storm system off of the Carolinas on Monday. This storm will lift north and northeast into New England, bringing gusty winds and rain to much of the region on Monday night and Tuesday. Snow looms for higher elevations -- especially in the Poconos and Northwest New Jersey. For most of the rest of us, as of now, this looks to be a soggy, wind-swept rainmaker where over an inch of rain may fall. Temperatures at the surface and in the lower atmosphere do not look to be cold enough to support a snowy solution for much of the event. There is a chance of some backlash flurries or snow showers on Tuesday night and Wednesday in the Philadelphia metro but the odds of anything beyond snow showers and flurries in the city is very low. In the Poconos, some spots may exceed six inches of snow accumulation with this storm, with the odds of heaviest snow occurring above 2000 in elevation. At the Shore, coastal flooding at high tide looms on Monday night and Tuesday thanks to gusty east winds off of the Atlantic helping push water towards the coast. Winds could gust to or over 50 mph at the height of the storm. There is still uncertainty on snow line with this storm (how low in elevation it gets in the Poconos) and exact track. The Canadian is the closest to the coast with this system, the GFS farther east, but all models have some sort of coastal storm impact for our region starting Monday night and continuing through Tuesday.
