A major winter storm will unfold across the East Coast Tuesday and Wednesday, threatening to create a nightmare for the millions of Thanksgiving holiday travelers–even those elsewhere in the U.S.
The same storm that unleashed snow and ice across New Mexico and the southern Plains over the weekend will now spread heavy rain across the South and I-95 corridor. “Gusty winds would also factor in to delays along the coast,” Sosnowski continued. The rain will become wind-driven, adding to visibility issues for motorists.
The rain will be heavy enough to cause flash and urban flooding.
Coastal flooding is another concern along the New England coast Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.
Substantial snow will spread northward from the spine of the Appalachians to the St. Lawrence Valley and far northern New England………The storm will be mostly a snow event across northwestern Pennsylvania and western New York to west of Montreal, Canada. The worst of the snowstorm may center on Bradford, Pa.; Rochester, N.Y.; Ottawa, Ont.; and stretches of Interstates 81, 86, 88, 87, 89 and 90. The snow will total 6 to 12 inches in this zone with more than a foot in some places.
