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.
