11.00am the weather in the Northeast is being dominated by a High Pressure system. This system is providing fair weather. This is the calm before the storm as I expect this area of High Pressure to give way to a storm system tomorrow that will likely produce pretty heavy snowfall for the Mid-atlantic and southern New England. The storm system should re-develop over the Atlantic Ocean and transcend into a full blown Nor'easter. 1-2 feet of snow is not out of the question from Long Island down to the Delmarva peninsula including the big cities like New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington D.C. The heaviest snow should fall right along the coast. This storm system will produce snowfall rates of up to 3.0" per hour at times. In NYC the snow will likely start Friday evening around 9:00pm and continue through the Noon time hour on Saturday. This storm system is due in part to an El Niño weather pattern with a storm track aimed at the Northeast. NCEP forecast models hint towards a continuation of this storm track, if that is the case I expect this month to be an active weather month for the region.
