Hundreds of thousands of individuals within the Northeast and along the I-95 corridor are being asked to take it slow on the roads Monday morning as a winter storm continues to bring rain and snow to the region.
The storm began Sunday, and by Monday morning, snow was reported across the inside Northeast and northern Recent England, while rain fell in southern Recent England and along the I-95 corridor through Recent York City and points south.
On account of the expected storm track, the I-95 corridor shall be socked right into a cold, regular rain while the snow stays confined to the inside Northeast, away from the larger cities similar to Recent York and Philadelphia.
“Because it moves up along the coast, it pulls up some warmer air right along the coast,” Fox Weather meteorologist Craig Herrera said. “We’ll see some drenching, cooler rain right along the coast. But to the north of there, where you have got the good, cold air in place, places like Maine all through Vermont and Recent Hampshire.”
This implies places like Recent York City will proceed their snowless streak through at the very least Monday.
Location, elevation play role in the style of precipitation falling
Rain has been falling in Boston and along the coast, while inland in central Massachusetts, there have been reports of sleet and freezing rain.
Snow was reported in western Massachusetts, which is higher in elevation due to the Berkshires. Snow was also falling farther north into Vermont, Recent Hampshire, Maine and interior Recent York state.
Snowfall rates could approach an inch per hour across portions of upstate Recent York and northern Recent England.
Where the heavy snow does arrange, 6-plus inches of accumulation is feasible. In the upper elevations above 3,000 feet, Herrera said, a foot of fresh snow could fall. This snowfall shall be much welcomed by the Northeast ski resorts, which have been largely lacking in snow up to now this winter.
While the Fox Forecast Center isn’t expecting blockbuster snow totals from this storm, many areas could pick up several inches before it moves away from the world.
The National Weather Service in Albany said in areas from the Mohawk Valley and Capital Region northeastward, snow totals must be around 6 inches.
Some areas, like Saratoga Springs, Recent York, and Manchester, Vermont, could pick up nearly a foot of snow.
Winter storm warnings have been issued from western Massachusetts into southern Vermont, Recent Hampshire and Maine. Winter storm warnings are also in effect across central Recent York from the Binghamton area to Albany.
Precipitation will proceed through Monday and can exit the region by Monday night.
