In additon, low pressure has begun to spin up along the tail end of the front over the Gulf of Mexico. Winter Storm Watches, Warnings and Advisories Enlarge Winter Storm Watches, Warnings and Advisories That low will quickly intensify as it moves north-northeastward overnight into Wednesday, most likely staying just off the Eastern Seaboard. This is a classic track for a significant East Coast storm. However, as is often the case, key questions remain about the exact outcome from this storm system -- and the small details could make a big difference for your travel plans, especially if you will be driving in the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast on Wednesday or Wednesday night. Heres an overview of how the storm is most likely to play out. Current Radar Enlarge Current Radar Tuesday Overnight: The first snowflakes from Cato will begin flying over the Smoky Mountains near the North Carolina-Tennessee border overnight. Snow will spread to the mountains of eastern West Virginia as well. Amounts in these areas should be relatively light. Aside from that, most of the precipitation will still be in the form of rain through the overnight hours. The precipitation will reach as far north as the New York City area by the start of the Wednesday morning rush hour and could be a mixture of rain and snow. Wednesday Forecast Enlarge Wednesday Forecast Wednesday: Snowfall will expand its areal footprint dramatically Wednesday over the Northeast. The rain/snow line will likely hover somewhere close to the Interstate 95 corridor. The forecast is complicated by the fact that the cold side of this storm system isnt particularly cold. While it certainly looks cold enough for snow over a swath of the interior -- say, from West Virginia through central Pennsylvania, the Catskills of New York and into interior New England -- areas closer to Interstate 95 may have ground-level air temperatures a few degrees above freezing. In this case, well be watching for heavy snowfall rates caused by fast-rising air associated with the low-pressure system. If it snows hard enough, air temperatures may cool enough for the snow to reach the ground and accumulate quickly. Conversely, in areas where precipitation isnt as heavy, the air may stay just warm enough to melt the snowflakes before they reach the ground -- resulting in a cold rain or a rain/snow mix. Most if not all of the Washington-to-Boston urban corridor is in this zone where uncertainty is greatest. Snowfall amounts could vary wildly over short distances in this zone. In any case, while the snow/rain line makes a big difference for drivers, major airports are likely to be in bad shape regardless. Either rain or snow, combined with the low clouds and blustery winds sure to accompany the storm, will likely cause severe delays at already-crowded airports up and down the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast coast. Wednesday Night Forecast Enlarge Wednesday Night Forecast Wednesday night: The fast-moving storm will keep booking to the northeast, wrapping cold air southward on its back side. This should allow the rain/snow line to advance southeastward across the Northeast Megalopolis, but by this point precipitation will be diminishing in intensity. Snowfall should quickly come to an end from the New York City area southward before midnight. Farther north, snow will continue over much of New England into the evening, ending from west to east later Wednesday night. Thanksgiving Day: The last of the snow will wind down in the morning over parts of Maine. In the wake of the storm, highs will be below average across the Northeast. But they should climb far enough above freezing to allow rapid improvement in road conditions. 48-Hour Snowfall Forecast Enlarge 48-Hour Snowfall Forecast Snowfall amounts and impacts: The inset map at right shows our latest 48-hour snowfall forecast. Confidence in exact amounts is lowest along the Interstate 95 corridor, and somewhat higher to the north of west. Total snowfall isnt the only thing to consider, however. Temperatures will be close to the 32-degree mark for most of the affected area, so this will be a heavy, wet snow. This could lead to broken tree limbs and power outages in areas where the snow is heaviest. But it could also mean less impact on drivers where amounts are lighter, where roads may just be slushy or wet. Bear in mind that temperatures were in the 70s on Monday in parts of the Northeast, so ground temperatures are not very cold. The rate of snowfall is also important. Some areas, especially closest to the rain/snow line, could see snowfall rates of 1 inch per hour or more. Road conditions can deteriorate very quickly in snows of that intensity, as the snow can fall faster than road crews can clear it with plows. Even where the soil is warm, heavy rates of snowfall can allow snow to accumulate Winter Storm CATO has been named An Atlantic coastal storm will become a Nor Easter and spread rain, snow and some wind up the eastern seaboard Wednesday and Wednesday night. The event will last into Thursday across northern New England into Down East Maine. Precipitation will spread rapidly up the East Coast from GA/FL Tuesday night to New England Wednesday. Mainly rain will be found along the coast/I-95 corridor, but moderate to heavy snow in higher Appalachians from NC to VA. Farther north, the rain/snow demarcation could be just inland from the immediate coast (north and west of the major metro areas). Right now I see a mix of rain/snow Wednesday afternoon before changing to all snow later in the day along the Metroplex from Washington DC through Philadelphia to New York City and Boston. Surface temperatures will be in the mid 30s and that should prevent significant buildup of any snow on roads in those areas. However, just west of the major cities the snowfall will pick up in earnest with several inches likely. Very Wintry Weather Across the Inter-Mountain West A system that will eventually help to energize the NorEaster will produce significant winter weather across the Inter-Mountain West today through Wednesday. Significant snowfall is likely from the Northern Rockies through the Northern Plains. Double digit snow will occur over the higher elevations of the Rockies with a few inches likely out across the Northern Plains.light rain diffrent parts of those area western bc canada and usa and newfoundland canada 30-40% chance of light rain 1-3 inches of light rain heavy rain for western bc canada western washington state western oregon state northwestern california state northern idaho state border line northwest montana state florida state nc state southern virgina state rhonde islans state 60-100% heavy rain 3-12 inches of rain flooding diffrent parts of those area winter snow storm warning for southern bc canada western alberta canada washington state northwest montana state all way eastern pa state nj state nyc ny state albany ny state new england state upper eastern state quebec canada marinetime canada 6-12 inches of snow visibilty be at 0 ery dangerous drving and snow pack and whiteout and icy roads condition snowfall for higher mountain or flatland area for northern alaska state yukon canada western canada minnsota state fort france and thunder bay ontario canada upper mid western state all way washington state bosie idaho state wy state northern colorado state iowa state missouri state eastern tn state ky state parts of virgina state west virgina state maryland state 4 great lake area wisconsin il state northern indania ohio michigan state parts of ontario canada pa state ny state new england upper eastern state quebec canada parts of eastern canada 3-12 inches of snow visibilty be at 0 very dangerous drving and snow pack and whiteout and icy roads condition frezzing rain warning for western alaska state 1-3 inches of frezzing rain very dangerous drving and icy roads condition none sever thunderstorm for southern florida state and key west florida state maybe sever isolated thunderstorm high wind warning for western alaska state all way nwt canada nu canada parts of western canada minnsota state upper mid western state all way washington oregon state idaho wy state utah colorado new mexcio texas oklanhoma kansas nebraska state iowa missouri state florida georiga sc state nc state virgina nj state upper eastern state border line quebec canada eastern canada 22 or 43 mph winds windchill warning for alaska state all way nu canada western canada northern ontario canada northern quebec canada minnsota state nd and sd state montana wy state colorado new mexcio all way up missouri iowa wisconsin il state northern michigan state windchill be at -18 or 28 very cold windchill weather for yall brrr frost warning for alaska state yukon canada nwt canada nu canada western canada northern ontario canada minnsota state nd and sd state wy state colorado new mexcio iowa wisconsin il state northern michigan state black road icy condition very dangerous drving on icy bridge condition foggy or ice foggy for bc canada alberta canada washington state oregon idaho montana wy state sd state colorado kansas iowa missouri state minnsota state parts of ontario canada all way down florida state georiga sc state nc state virgina west virgina state pa state nj state quebec canada newfoundland canada visibilty be at 0-2 miles very dangerous drving and thick foggy or ice foggy condition right till by morning be caution keep eyes on it yall tune weather channel weather network wx cb radio scanner weather radio cell phone or desktop laptop tablet weather yall be safe drive safe god bless yall bigger both thumbs up drivers everybody else here :) 10-4
