Snow, Ice Impacts

  • Monday: Snow should linger in the central Appalachians and Mid-Atlantic (West Virginia, northern Virginia, Maryland, Delaware) into the afternoon. The precipitation is moving east, but the rain/ice line and ice/snow line has been sagging south as cold air bleeds south. As a result, southern Virginia has changed to snow as of late morning. This transition from rain to snow, sleet or freezing rain was advancing into North Carolina as of noon on Monday.
  • How Much Snow?  Up to five inches of snow or more is possible for far southern New Jersey, Delaware, southern Maryland, central and northern Virginia, the District of Columbia and West Virginia. Snow amounts will taper greatly farther to the north, with only light snow showers expected in the New York City area and no significant accumulations in Boston. Accumulating snow and sleet, albeit not as heavy, is also expected as far south as northern North Carolina. 
  • East travel impact: Road conditions will continue to be hazardous in areas where snow, sleet and freezing rain fell Sunday into Sunday night. Conditions will deteriorate in parts of the MIddle Atlantic on Monday. Major impact on Northeast airport hubs with numerous cancelations/delays likely Monday.
  • East city impacts: Philly | Baltimore | Washington, D.C. | Richmond, Va.
