Caly Forecast
As mentioned before, Caly's final chapter will be Sunday night into Monday, from the Great Lakes to the Northeast.Let's lay out the general timing, then discuss potential amounts.
Sunday Night
- Snow will be predominate north of Interstate-80, with mainly rain south of that interstate. This means much of New England, New York state and the Great Lakes will see snow, while the mid-Atlantic and Ohio Valley see mostly rain. One exception will be the higher elevations of southern and western Pennsylvania, interior Maryland. eastern West Virginia and western Virginia, where freezing rain and ice are a concern.
- Hazardous travel conditions are likely across all of the above mentioned areas, due to icy roadways and low visibility from falling snow.
- New York City and Boston will both see light accumulating snow Sunday night before changing to rain.
- Cities: Detroit | Cleveland | Pittsburgh | Buffalo
Sunday Night's Forecast
Monday
- Snow will persist across the interior Northeast during the day, before coming to an end in most areas by Monday night. This includes a swath from northern Pennsylvania to New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.
- The immediate Interstate-95 corridor from Boston to New York City will likely see rain Monday morning.
- Monday morning's commute from Rochester, New York, to Bangor, Maine, will be messy with snow ongoing in that swath of the region.
- Cities: Bangor, Maine | Albany, New York | Burlington, Vermont
Monday's Forecast
How Much More Snow?
While we're not expecting a crippling heavy snow event, additional moderate to locally heavy snow totals over 6 inches are possible from the southern Great Lakes into the interior Northeast.This is most likely where heavier, small-scale, east-to-west oriented snow bands train over a given area, like train cars over a section of railroad track.
Lighter totals are expected either north (air too cold/dry) or south (too much rain mixing in) of that general swath.
