After snow blankets parts of the Plains, Midwest and South, heavy snow and high winds will blast the East Coast on Saturday.
Wind-driven snow is expected on Saturday from the Appalachians to portions of Pennsylvania, upstate New York and northern New England. The snow could be heavy at times, with snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches or more per hour, especially in the interior Northeast.
Along the Interstate 95 urban corridor, rain and even a few thunderstorms could change to a period of wet snow later Saturday or Saturday night from Boston to New York City, Philadelphia and Washington., with the highest gusts from the coastal Carolinas to the mid-Atlantic coast, central and eastern Pennsylvania, upstate New York and New England.
The snow will end from west to east on Saturday night as the storm moves into Atlantic Canada, but slick roads could linger into Sunday morning across the Northeast with temperatures plunging below freezing.The interior Northeast will see the heaviest snow from this winter storm, particularly areas from the central Appalachians to central and northern Pennsylvania, upstate New York, Vermont, northern New Hampshire and northern Maine.
Most other locations along the path of the storm are expected to pick up less than 6 inches of snow. However, roads could still be slippery as far south as portions of Oklahoma, the Texas Panhandle, the Ozarks and the Tennessee Valley, especially in the hills. A slushy coating of snow is not ruled out all the way down to northern Mississippi, northern Alabama and northern Georgia, including the Birmingham and Huntsville, Alabama, metro areas and even the northwestern suburbs of Atlanta.
