The winter storm set to hit this weekend will begin mid-morning on Sunday and continue through late evening. Snowfall rates are anticipated to peak during the afternoon hours, tapering off before midnight. Areas further south and east may see a mix of rain and snow due to warmer temperatures near the shoreline.
Key details include:
- Total snowfall: 4–8 inches across most areas
- Possible isolated amounts up to 10 inches in specific locations like the Poconos
- Wind gusts could reach up to 25 mph later in the night
As temperatures drop into the teens overnight, wind chills could feel as low as -20°F from Monday night through early Thursday morning. This combination of heavy snow and strong winds may lead to hazardous travel conditions throughout the affected areas.
This impending winter storm presents significant snowfall alongside dangerously cold winds. Residents are advised to monitor local forecasts for updates as conditions develop throughout Sunday.
