Third Nor'easter in 11 Days Will Produce Heavy Snow and Blizzard Conditions over Coastal New England on Tuesday, Light Snowfall in NYC and NJ...

Developing low pressure North Carolina coast will form into the third Nor'easter to hit the Northeast since March 2nd. The storm will track to the north-northeast tonight and Tuesday producing blizzard conditions over coastal New England on Tuesday. In the city and across New Jersey, only light snow can be expected with 1 to 2 inches possible. As much as 8 or 10 inches can be expected across eastern Long Island with 16 to 20 inches possible in Boston. Power outages that have recently been repaired can perhaps occur again. The NYC metro area will be grazed with the precipitation and with temperatures above freezing, only light accumulations are expected mainly on grassy surfaces. Cold, windy conditions with snow showers can be expected on Wednesday. It will be cold through Saturday with a moderation in temperature on Sunday. The GFS model is hinting at a potential weaker storm early next week.
