Winter Storm Invades the Appalachian Spine, Northeast
January 30, 2019
UPDATED By WeatherBug Meteorologist, Fred Allen
A fast-moving winter storm will deliver yet another burst of plowable snow across interior New England through the first half of midweek. The storm will inch snow totals near or above normal for January after a slow start to the month.
Low pressure will track swiftly across eastern New England tonight before being pulled northward into the Canadian Maritimes on Wednesday. This path will allow warm air from the Atlantic Ocean to lead to a transition to a wintry mix or period of rain, especially along and southeast of Interstate 95 from southern New England to Maine. While this will result in a slushy inch or two being washed away in southeastern Massachusetts and northeastern coastal Maine, snow will pile up quickly north and west of Interstate 95.
The snow jackpot will be found from southwestern New Hampshire to northern Maine, where anywhere from 4 to 10 inches will be common. Further south and west, extending into the western Massachusetts Berkshires, Vermont, and eastern New York from Albany, N.Y., northward, totals will range from a couple of inches to locally more than a half foot by the time the snow winds down on Wednesday morning or very early in the afternoon.
Winter Storm Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories stretch from the Pennsylvania and New York border to northern Maine, including Albany, N.Y, Springfield and Worcester, Mass., Hartford, Conn., Concord and Manchester, N.H., Burlington and Rutland, Vt., and Portland, Augusta, Bangor and Caribou, Maine. Travel will likely become very difficult, especially at the height of the storm north and west of the Interstate 95 corridor in New England including Interstates 81, 87, and 91.
This storm will bring the monthly snow totals to near normal or a few inches above normal for cities like Portland and Caribou, Maine, Concord, N.H., where deficits of around 5 to 6 inches exist.
This will all precede a massive cold snap, poised to bring the coldest temperatures in years to the Eastern half of the U.S. starting Wednesday.
