From this mornings NWS Mt. Holly forecast discussion: MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING...UNCERTAINTY ON AMOUNTS ETC ALL HINGING ON INTENSITY AND TRACK OF A COASTAL STORM. OVERALL, THIS LOOKS LIKE A MAJOR STORM FOR US AND POTENTIAL FOR NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS IN NE NJ. OUR FORECAST AMOUNTS ARE PROBABLY SOMEWHAT CONSERVATIVE BUT AMOUNTS ARE NOT SET YET. JUST GIVES AN IDEA. ITS A WATCH. THOSE WITH TRAVEL PLANS IN E PA AND NJ ESPECIALLY FOR MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THOSE PLANS MAY NEED MAJOR ALTERATION. THE MONDAY NIGHT/TUESDAY MID ATLC COASTAL UPPER LOW/EXPLOSIVE SFC INTENSIFICATION SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND WILL PROBABLY HAVE DEFORMATION BANDING POSSIBLY REACHING BACK TO NJ. WATCHES DO NOT MEAN A DONE DEAL BUT DO PAY ATTENTION. A DRIER MORE POWDERY SNOW WILL BE EASIER TO ACCUMULATE IN THE COLDER AIRMASS THAN JUST WHAT OCCURRED EARLY SATURDAY. WIND WILL BECOME A FACTOR IN BLOWING/DRIFTING, MAINLY IN NJ/DEL. THE MONDAY NIGHT-TUESDAY PORTION HAS UNCERTAINTY AND SOMEWHAT LESS CONFIDENCE THAN THE FORECAST FOR MONDAY. OUR POSTED STORM TOTALS FOR THIS PERIOD ARE LIKELY TO CHANGE OVER THE NEXT FEW FCST CYCLES...SO PAY ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS IN FUTURE FCSTS. The snow total map for NE NJ is shared in a separate post.
