A fast-moving Nor'easter is strengthening rapidly over the Southeast U.S. and is barreling towards New England where heavy snow and strong winds will develop later tonight and continue through Monday night. The heaviest snow will fall across Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Coastal Maine between Midnight tonight and noon on Monday, with 6-12 inches of snow likely across this region. The water vapor loop below shows the strengthening system as of Sunday evening over the Southeast U.S.


The WRF and GFS are forecasting the surface low to deepen to around 990 mb by 18z Monday, with up to 1.5 inches water equivalent falling across extreme Northeast MA, Southeast NH, and Southwest ME by Tuesday (most will fall before Monday afternoon). Both model forecast panels below are from the WRF:

Consequently, winter storm warnings have been issued for central NY northeastward across eastern New England, with snow advisories to the west and north across the rest of New England. Several tornado warnings have been issued for rotating thunderstorms in the warm sector across southern Georgia, where temperatures have risen into the 70s with dewpoints in the 60s, and a low-level jet has developed to the south and east of the 850 mb low. Weak, brief tornadoes are possible with these storms through the evening. Stay tuned for updates as this winter storm unfolds...If anyone has any pictures or video we could post on the blog please email them to reed@tornadovideos.net!
