📝 Storm Summary: A developing low pressure system will intensify this afternoon, tracking south and east of the region. This trajectory will result in colder, snowier conditions, particularly near and south of the I-95 corridor. Winter Storm Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories have been issued for parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, and Connecticut due to expected significant snowfall.
⏰ Timing: Precipitation starts late morning to early afternoon, moving from southwest to northeast. The heaviest precipitation is expected between 4 PM and 9 PM, with snow rates possibly exceeding 1 inch per hour. Snow will start tapering off from southwest to northeast into the overnight hours, with most accumulation ending by midnight.
🌨️🌧️ Precipitation Types: Initially, there might be light rain or a rain/snow mix near the I-95 corridor, with mainly snow further north and rain further south.❄️ As the low pressure moves off the coast, colder air will lock in, converting any mixed precipitation to snow, particularly in the afternoon and evening.
Snowfall Totals:
Near I-95 corridor: 4 to 6 inches. ❄️❄️❄️❄️
North of I-95: 6 to 9 inches. ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

Long Island and coastal CT: 3-5 inches, with potential for up to 6 inches in advisory areas if conditions align. ❄️❄️❄️
Conclusion: The storm will bring a significant amount of snow, transitioning from mixed precipitation to predominantly snow as the day progresses.
