Let’s Not Forget The Winds With This Storm…

Good Morning From Chief Meteorologist Tony Petrarca

Early morning here in the weather center, as I write this at 12:38am. Just wanted to make a quick note on the expected winds with this storm…Below is a map of one of our reliable high resolution computer models called the RPM.  The red “L” is the offshore storm late Friday Night. The colors of red wrapping around the storm represent forecast winds of 50-60 mph. The combination of those winds and heavy snow will lead to isolated power outages late Friday Night into Saturday morning.  Thursday  is another dry day and during that time more of this computer data will be coming in. Check back often for updates. While we feel confident of a major storm, some of the finer details like snow amounts, precipitation type (yes, there will be some rain and sleet for a short time) and locations of maximum snow, still need to be re-evaluated.  Nonetheless, a high impact storm is likely with the worst of it being Friday Night into Saturday Morning…
