Currently the area is being impacted by a cold front moving through the region. It is being accompanied by a band of very intense snowfall. In spite temperatures rising above freezing earlier today, an inch or two of accumulation is likely by tonight. Overnight temperatures will crash into the teens(10's) and a quick moving shot of arctic air moves in. This energy will combine with a storm system developing off the Mid-Atlantic coast to produce a major Nor'easter. The system will pass far enough off shore that the major cities along the East Coast will escape a major snow fall. Cape Cod and may see more than six (6) inches of snow but this will depend on the exact track of the system. All of the Northeast will experience strong northerly winds and coastal sections may experience battering waves and coastal flooding as the storm produces hurricane force winds offshore. The Canadian Maritines will experience the worst with blizzard conditions likely. A cold high pressure will control the weather on Wednesday and as it moves east of the area on Thursday, much milder air will stream north out of the south and west.
An arctic front is moving through the area with a band of intense snowfall. Overnight temperatures will plummet into the middle teens.
Tomorrow cold high pressure will control the area as a major Nor'easter moves toward the Canadian Maritines. This high pressure will keep high temperatures on Wednesday in the middle twenties. Thursday much milder air will stream into the area allowing high temperatures to rise to normal levels.
On Friday, the mild southwest flow will continue and rain chances will also increase during the day as a storm system approaches the area from the west.
