Snow and Ice Impacts
At least 1 foot of snow: Eastern Kentucky into a large part of of West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, D.C., northern Delaware, far southern Pennsylvania and western North Carolina. Amounts exceeding 2 feet are possible in parts of western Virginia, eastern West Virginia, central Maryland and the District of Columbia.
At least 6 inches of snow: Much of New Jersey into New York City and Long Island; central Kentucky and parts of West and Middle Tennessee; and a narrow zone immediately surrounding the 1-foot zone. A few locations in central to eastern Arkansas could approach or slightly exceed 6 inches of snowfall as well.
Damaging ice: Damaging ice accumulations of 1/4 inch or more are likely from parts of Upstate South Carolina into the Piedmont and foothills of North Carolina, including the Charlotte and Greensboro/Winston-Salem metropolitan areas. The Raleigh-Durham area may also see enough ice to break tree limbs and down power lines. Another zone of concern exists over Kentucky, generally south of I-64, where some locations may see tree and/or power line damage from 1/4 inch of ice.
Lesser ice accumulation: Other areas where lighter ice accumulations may cause dangerous driving conditions stretch from eastern Arkansas through the central and southern Appalachians into northeast Georgia. In many of these areas, freezing rain will be a small part of the storm as precipitation changes to snow or rain."
Strong winds are expected north of the low pressure center over parts of the Mid-Atlantic Friday night into Saturday. These will likely cause power outages and sporadic damage.
Those winds will also raise the threat of coastal flooding during both high tides Saturday along the Atlantic coast from Long Island Sound to the Delmarva Peninsula.
Stay safe!
