Tuesday Feb 9th Morning Update

One storm, just off the coast is moving NE into New England. Parts of New England will really be getting hit hard with a foot plus. For us, coastal areas may have a period of light snow, and maybe a couple flurries around inland, but nothing significant. Very close though, as evident on the current radar:


Things do get interesting for our area tonight and tomorrow through Wednesday. Another disturbance will be moving in and will bring with it some light snow. Light snow will be around much of the day tomorrow into the overnight and possibly through Wednesday morning. A general light event will be on tap with this event. 

What will have to be watched will the development of a band of heavier snows that will be capable of dropping between 4-8" depending on where it sets up. This event is known as a Norlun trough (A Good Explanation Here (Click). As of now, this is being modeled to show up over Southern NJ up to Central NJ. As a result, NWS PHL/MtHolly has issued the following watches. Its a strange map, but there best forecast on where the Norlun trough sets up:


As of now, NWS PHL/MtHolly has the following accumulations noted for Tonight through Wednesday:


These troughs can change, and this will definitely be followed throughout the day into tomorrow. Could be an interesting day tomorrow. More to come.
