A slow-moving surface low will rapidly intensify just off the coast of New England on Monday, with very heavy snow falling in the deformation zone from Connecticut northeastward through Coastal Maine and the Canadian Maritimes. The WRF forecast MSLP for 00z tomorrow evening is shown below, along with the watches and warnings across the Eastern U.S.


The winter weather product statement from the NWS office in Gray, ME regarding this winter storm is displayed below. While official NWS forecast is 4-12 inches across eastern New England, I wouldn't be surprised if there are many reports of greater than a foot of snow because of the slow-moving nature of the system. This part of New England has been absolutely pounded this year by snow, with over 3 feet reported over most locations during December alone. If any of the blog participants from this area capture any good photos/video of the snow, please email them to me so I can post them on the blog!
