Tuesday,” the NWS office in Burlington, Vermont forecast. “A band of heavy, wet snowfall, with rates of 1-2 inches per hour, is expected to develop and lift northward across the area between 11 p.m. The low will be off the Mid-Atlantic coast this evening, which is when areas in the Northeast will begin to feel the effects of the storm. The storm is currently producing heavy rain across the Carolinas and will continue to track up the East Coast and intensify as it does so. Places like Philadelphia, New York City and Boston will all be included. Rain, wind and coastal flooding will cause significant disruptions up and down the Northeast and New England coastline. It doesn’t mean the coastal cities are in the clear. This week’s nor’easter will track much farther to the west, meaning precipitation in coastal cities will be all rain, and the inland locations will get heavy, wet snow. The farther from the coast they track, the more likely the big cities along the Eastern Seaboard will get snow.
Mid-April nor’easters aren’t unheard of, but they are definitely rare, and they can cause significant problems.Įverything from heavy, wet snow to strong winds and coastal flooding will affect the region, and we could see significant tree and power line damage, which may result in widespread power outages.ĭetermining how close to the coast nor’easters track will tell a lot about who gets snow and who doesn’t. That caught my attention! Nearly eight million people are under winter storm warnings and winter weather advisories across interior portions of the Northeast.
I would say they happen maybe once or twice a decade.” But they’re not that often,” said Albany National Weather Service (NWS) meteorologist Tom Wasula.
“We do get April snow events even in Albany here. It looks like this week we will briefly take a pause from spring to return to winter for some, as a rare, late-season nor’easter has its sights set on the Northeast and New England.
