Good evening,
The work week will begin with possible blizzard like
conditions that will extend into New England as an Alberta Clipper that
originated in western Canada and has moved into the lower 48 thus affecting the
Midwest this weekend.
The system, which is expected to reach the mid-Atlantic by
Monday, will bring with it hazardous winds along with a swath of snow that
promise to delay travel all through the northeastern states. This system is
expected to rapidly pick up strength causing the highest disruptions from Rhode
Island into Maine with snow extending as far down as New York, all of which can
see 1-3 inches of snow with certain areas receiving up to half a foot.
The clipper system will take place in conjunction with a
decrease in temperatures both of which will bring risky wintry driving
conditions mainly during the rush hour commute. Another hazard to keep in mind
will be the winds which are forecast to gust up to 40 mph with temperatures barely
making it past the single digits. There is a possibility that the storm may
stall upon reaching the Boston area, in which case it may prolong the amount of
snow and gusty winds along the coastal mid-Atlantic.
A safe and happy weekend!
Jen Gonzalez
