Mid Week Storm Update

It now looks like the storm will turn up the Eastern Seaboard on Tuesday into Wednesday, hugging the coast, and that mens we will be seeing snow here in the Broad Channel area.

The problem is, it is looking more likely that the storm will rapidly intensify around Cape Cod on Wednesday as another storm that will first dump snow over the Midwest joins forces with the coastal storm. Plenty of cold air will remain in place to support snowfall and that means that we could be seeing disruptive snowfall amounts of up to a foot here in our area.

If the low strengthens near Cape Cod like it is expected to at this point, significant blowing and drifting of snow will also impact our area and whiteout and near blizzard conditions will be possible.  Travel here in the City will be severely impacted and could even be brought to a standstill for a time.

It should be noted that the storm track is still not set in stone..... A change in the storm's track by only 50 miles can make a major difference in snow totals for us here in the Channel but it is starting to look like we are going to be hit hard again this week!
