...Major winter storm expected to hammer the Northeast U.S. and heavy rain
is likely over parts of Texas and the Gulf Coast...
A strong surface low just southeast of Cape Cod will continue intensifying
rapidly during the day Monday while moving towards Nova Scotia. This
nor'easter will bring blizzard conditions across parts of Maine through
Monday as the winds become quite strong along with heavy snow and reduced
visibilities. Winter storm warnings are in effect from upstate New York
to northern Maine, where snowfall amounts of 8 to 16 inches are likely
with locally higher amounts, and blizzard warnings for eastern Maine.
Coastal flooding could also be an issue for this region. Given the strong
pressure gradient that is expected to develop in the wake of this storm,
widespread windy conditions are expected as far west as the central
Appalachians and Mid-Atlantic region, where high wind warnings are in
effect for potential gusts in excess of 50 mph through Monday morning.
An upper level low over northern Mexico, along with a surface frontal
boundary, will continue to result in rain and mountain snow from Arizona
to western Texas. Periods of rain, heavy at times, and scattered
thunderstorms will develop ahead of the system across Texas and eventually
moving eastward towards the central Gulf Coast by Wednesday morning.
Heavy snowfall is forecast across the higher terrain of New Mexico on
Monday before gradually winding down. By Tuesday night, rain and mountain
snow starts returning to the Pacific Northwest after several days of dry
weather.
