Coastal communities braces for moderate flooding

Tuesday Night: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 21.

“It’s really dependent on temperature”, Silverman said.

Whatever falls will likely be gone by Thursday with highs Wednesday expected to break freezing, Potter said.

Rain and snow are going to be moving into the area today according to Silverman.

The snow may make traveling more hard for both the Tuesday morning and evening rush hour commutes.

Flooding might be the biggest issue as communities vulnerable to back bay flooding could see water spilling into the streets, according to the National Weather Service. Locally higher snow totals are possible. Beforehand, snow showers could accumulate in some locations, especially in our far northern counties. “That strong wind will continue much of the day tomorrow, right on into Wednesday“, Burns said.

In its forecast on Monday morning, RaysWeather.com told readers to “buckle your seatbelts” in advance of the snow squalls and subzero wind chill temperatures.

Damascus, Md., reported 2 inches of snow and Berks County, Pa., reported 1 inch early Tuesday.

Another three to five inches of snow is possible Monday, adding to the snow that fell in Wilton Center on Friday.

Lows will drop into the teens in north Alabama overnight.

The storm is expected to taper off in the evening with an additional 1 to 3 inches of snow predicted to fall Monday night.

We could also see a few lingering snow showers Wednesday, with a cold blast expected to send daytime highs plummeting in the back half of the week.

Many folks were surprised this morning by the sudden “snow attack”, despite a rain/snow mix in the forecast for many days in advance. Sunday night: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 19.

Partly sunny. COLD! Chance for light snow showers north. High 7° to 14°.
