PORTLAND 12.0 BOTTINEAU 11.4 WALHALLA 4 SSE 10.9 GARRISON 9.0 FARGO 2 N 6.5 Conditions will continue to deteriorate across the Northeast tonight, as the aforementioned rapidly-intensifying low-pressure system moves northeastward toward southern New England. For portions of the interior Northeast, snowfall rates within the most intense snow band may reach upwards of 2-3" per hour. As the low approaches coastal New England, northwesterly flow will wrap cold temperatures around the western side of the low-pressure, resulting in the eventual changeover from rain to snow for many areas along the coast, including Boston and New York. In all, snowfall totals of 12" or higher are expected across much of New England, with locally higher amounts of 24-30" possible in the higher terrain. For areas closer to the coast (including Boston and New York), a sharp gradient of snowfall is expected. The heavy-wet nature of the snow combined with max wind gusts of 55 mph will result in scattered to widespread power outages and tree damage. Moreover, widespread minor and localized moderate coastal flooding and beach erosion are forecast tonight through Wednesday as the low pressure deepens and stalls off the New England coast. The next Storm Summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction Center at 1100 AM EDT. Please refer to your local National Weather Service office for additional information on this event.
