SW CT Weather Info %u200F@SWCTweather

18z GFS coming out now also shows a direct hit for much of SW CT and an extreme wind threat. I think winds may cause more problems than snow

If the 0z ECMWF trends again towards the GFS and the GFS/NAM stay firm, we could be looking at Blizzard Watches going up tomorrow.

OMG!!
Luis, this is just what I asked for. Snowgasm.

Todd Gutner‏@ToddWBZ

The final track of storm is still in question but cold rain and wet snow is likely with some accumulating snow possible.

2 minTodd Gutner‏@ToddWBZ

A lock that the Coast has problems from midweek storm: large waves, beach erosion and gusty, if not damaging wind.

VALID 00Z TUE MAR 05 2013 - 00Z THU MAR 07 2013

...SIGNIFICANT SNOWSTORM TO IMPACT THE MIDWEST INTO THE NORTHERN
MID-ATLANTIC STARTING TONIGHT...

A SWATH OF MODERATE TO LOCALLY HEAVY SNOW IS EXPECTED TO AFFECT
CITIES FROM MINNEAPOLIS AND CHICAGO...SOUTHEASTWARD TO THE OHIO
VALLEY AND THEN ALONG THE CENTRAL TO NORTHERN APPALACHIANS TOWARD
THE WASHINGTON AND BALTIMORE METRO REGIONS. THERE IS STILL SOME
UNCERTAINTY WITH SNOW TOTALS IN AND AROUND THE I-95 CORRIDOR DUE
TO RAIN LIKELY MIXING IN DURING THE STORM BUT CONFIDENCE IS HIGHER
IN PRIMARILY SNOW AS THE DOMINANT PRECIPITATION TYPE FARTHER WEST
INTO REGIONS OF HIGHER TERRAIN.

THE STORM IS CURRENTLY IMPACTING THE NORTH CENTRAL U.S. WITH A FEW
BANDS OF LOCALLY MODERATE SNOW BUT AS THE STORM DIVES
SOUTHEASTWARD TONIGHT...IT WILL COMBINE WITH AN UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE MOVING THROUGH THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN ROCKIES. AS
THE TWO MERGE...SNOWFALL INTENSITY IS EXPECTED TO PICK UP JUST TO
THE NORTHWEST OF THE SURFACE LOW AND IN THE VICINITY OF AN
INVERTED TROUGH. A SECONDARY SURFACE LOW WILL DEVELOP OVER THE
NORTH CAROLINA TUESDAY NIGHT AND BEGIN TO QUICKLY
STRENGTHEN...WHEREBY WEDNESDAY MORNING...HEAVY SNOW IS EXPECTED TO
THE WEST AND POSSIBLY ALONG I-95 FROM D.C. TO PHILADELPHIA. WARM
TEMPERATURES AT THE SURFACE MAY INITIALLY INHIBIT ACCUMULATIONS
EAST OF THE APPALACHIAN CHAIN...BUT PERIODS OF HEAVY SNOW WILL BE
ABLE TO OVERCOME THE INITIALLY WARM TEMPERATURES AT THE SURFACE.
WIND SPEEDS ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO PICK UP IN ADDITION TO THE SNOW
AND RAIN DURING THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY WHICH MAY LEAD TO COASTAL
FLOODING FROM THE DELMARVA TO NEW YORK.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.

THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR A STRONG COASTAL STORM TO IMPACT EASTERN
NORTH CAROLINA WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. THIS SYSTEM COULD BRING
STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS AND A PERIOD OF HEAVY RAIN TO THE AREA.
STRONG GALE FORCE WINDS COULD IMPACT THE COASTAL WATERS AND OUTER
BANKS FROM WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. HIGH SURF WITH
POSSIBLE OCEAN OVERWASH AND COASTAL FLOODING MAY IMPACT AREA
BEACHES NORTH OF CAPE HATTERAS. SOUNDSIDE COASTAL FLOODING WILL
ALSO BE POSSIBLE DUE TO THE FETCH AND DURATION OF STRONGEST WINDS.

I know winds will be a problem where, extensive power outages are possible...

A NOR-EASTER WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC COAST EARLY
WEDNESDAY. THE STORM WILL INTENSIFY AS IT SLOWLY TRACKS
EAST THROUGH THURSDAY.

FORECAST UNCERTAINTY SURROUNDS THE EXACT DETAILS OF HOW THIS STORM
WILL EVOLVE...BUT THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR:

* SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW.
* WIND GUSTS OF 50 TO 60 MPH.
* MINOR TO MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING.
* HIGH SURF AND SIGNIFICANT BEACH EROSION ALONG THE OCEAN FACING
BEACHES AND TWIN FORKS OF LONG ISLAND.

Eric Fisher‏@EricFisherTWC

As it stands, there will certainly be some erosion/coastal flood concerns for DE/NJ coast, first. #Saturn

If trend north continues, major NE coastal erosion could be in play with #Saturn. Read @NWSBoston discussion: [link to 1.usa.gov]
