Storm Watch
Heavy snow treks eastward
9:34 p.m. ET 12/8/2005
Tom Moore, Sr. Meteorologist, The Weather Channel

A widespread, but fast-moving, winter storm is producing plenty of winter weather from the Midwest to the Northeast. Snow will spread rapidly eastward to the East Coast.

This storm will push into New York State by early Friday morning and weaken. However, as this area of low pressure weakens, a coastal storm will develop near the Outer Banks of North Carolina. That storm will strengthen as it heads off the coast of Massachusetts by Friday evening. The morning rush will be impacted by this winter storm from Virginia to New York City. Snow by Friday evening. Some of the heaviest snow (along with high snow rates and very strong winds) may occur across central and northeast Massachusetts, southern New Hampshire, and extreme southern Maine. Many areas will see from 6 to 12 inchees The big cities along the I-95 corridor may have to contend with snow mixing with rain which could limit snow totals. Snow totals are forecast to range from 2-4” in Washington, D.C., 3-4” around Philadelphia, 2-4” around New York City, 4-8” in the Boston area and 8-12” in Portland, Maine

Northeast

A potent, but fast-moving winter storm, will batter much of the Northeast overnight into Friday. Fortunately, the storm will wind down on Friday afternoon and evening. Snow may mix with rain along the East Coast and that would reduce snowfall totals. Generally from Washington, D.C. to New York City snowfall totals are forecast to range between 2-4”. Boston snowfall may range from 4” along the coast to 8” around the I-95 loop, with 8-10” in Worcester. Locations away from the immediate coast will see all snow with the highest amounts likely from the Appalachians of Pennsylvania, the Catskills of New York, and higher elevations in Massachusetts. Look for highs ranging from the 20s along the Great Lakes and in Northern New England with the mid to upper 30s from northern Virginia north along I-95 to eastern Massachusetts. A brisk wind will make it feel a bit colder across the Northeast. By Saturday the winter storm will be gone and things will calm down. A weak weather system will approach the Great Lakes by late Saturday and spread light snow or snow showers across that region on Sunday.

Midwest

The winter storm will be gone by Friday morning but morning commute may still be tricky in many locales around the Great Lakes. The combination of clear skies, light winds, and fresh snow on the ground, from Missouri to Indiana, will result in very cold morning lows. Low temperatures will dip to the single digits from North Dakota to southern Kansas, and western Illinois, with lows below zero from southern Minnesota to southern Iowa on Friday. Highs will range from teens around the Upper Midwest to the 30s across Kansas. Saturday highs may rebound to the 40s around Kansas City, Mo. with the 20s in Chicago, Ill. and Detroit, Mich. Snow showers are likely across the northern Plains and Upper Midwest on Saturday as a weak storm swoops down out of Canada.

South

Look for some wintry precipitation in the form of sleet and freezing rain across the extreme western Carolinas and Virginia into the early hours of Friday. Coastal areas of Virginia and North Carolina will see rain ending during the morning hours. Friday morning lows will range from the teens across the northern half of Texas to southern Missouri with the 20s from southern Texas to northern Georgia. Highs on Friday will range from the 70s and 80s in southern Florida, to the 50s along the Carolina and Louisiana coasts, to the 30s across Kentucky and Tennessee. After a chilly Friday, temperatures across Texas will start to moderate on Friday with highs in the 50s from the Rio Grande along the Mexico Border to the 40s along border of Oklahoma. By Saturday, temperatures across Texas and Oklahoma will return to average with highs in the 50s and 60s.

West

Temperatures will be chilly across the Intermountain West on Friday morning with lows ranging from the negative teens in western Wyoming to around zero in the lower elevations of eastern Colorado. Afternoon highs will warm into the 20s and 30s from the Northern Rockies to the Central Rockies, however. On Saturday, afternoon highs will rebound along the I-25 corridor from Colorado Springs, Colo. to Denver, Colo. to Cheyenne, Wyo. with temperatures in the 40s. Along the West Coast the weather will be dry on Friday with temperatures in the 40s around Seattle, Wash. and Portland, Ore, and the 60s from San Francisco, Calif. to Phoenix, Ariz. the dry and stagnant pattern in the Pacific Northwest will keep fog is in the forecast on Friday in eastern Washington and the panhandle of Idaho.
