Key Points:
- A powerful blizzard is developing off the Mid-Atlantic coast, potentially producing hurricane-force winds offshore, with Hurricane Hunters conducting three missions to gather data for accurate forecasting.
- Snowfall on Sunday will be impacted by above-freezing temperatures and a high sun angle, causing initial snow to melt on roads, with stickage expected only after sunset and into Monday morning when temperatures drop below freezing.
- The blizzard will bring heavy snow rates (1-2+ inches per hour) and strong winds (35+ mph) along the Eastern Shore of Maryland up through New York and Boston, with banded snow patterns causing intermittent heavy snowfall and lulls.
- Winter weather alerts including Blizzard Warnings, Winter Storm Warnings, and Gale/Storm Warnings
