Extreme Weather for Dec 6


Good evening,

A storm with the potential to snarl travel this weekend will extend from the mid Atlantic into New England with rounds of ice and snow that will definitely dampen all outdoor activities.

Freezing rain and sleet will begin in central Pennsylvania during the first half of the weekend before lifting northward into New York and New England with a mixture of ice and wet snow. As the weekend comes to an end, roads will remain wet and slippery in anticipation of a major winter storm that will arrive in the area by Tuesday. 

A swath of snow is forecast to develop over northern New York and New England with some locations seeing up to a foot of snow or more. Rain will be possible during most or all of the storms duration and when combined with increasing temperatures, fast melting snow may cause a slight risk of urban flooding. Another concern for these areas will be downed trees and power lines that may cause power outages. 

Those living or traveling to upper eastern coast may want to stay informed of weather conditions this weekend through this region as the exact track and strength has not been fully determined since it all depends on how quickly this systems moves along the eastern seaboard.

Wishing everyone a restful weekend!

Jen Gonzalez
