UPDATE: Nor'easter

Local Update...
   Nor'easter To Bring Continued Heavy Snow, And Travel Problems Into Monday Morning...

VIEW PREVIOUS POST FOR WINTER ALERT DETAILS!

     The National Weather Service in Burlington, Vermont continues a Winter Storm Warning until 1PM for the entire region, for 6-12 inches of snow across much of the area with 10-15 inches across the Western Slopes of the Green Mountains, and Northeastern Vermont. The National Weather Service in Albany, New York continues a Winter Storm Warning until 7AM for Bennington, and Windham Counties in Vermont for 6-16 inches of snow. JRWeather continues a Winter Storm Warning until 11AM for the entire region for 5-10 inches of snow across much of the area, with 10-15 inches across portions of the Northern Adirondack mountains in New York, and the Western Slopes of the Green Mountains in Vermont, as well as Northeastern Vermont.

     Currently across the region moderate to heavy snow is falling. Current radar trends show precip is beginning to lighten up in some areas. The low pressure that is forecasted to form over the Delmarva area is now forming, currently its just east of the Southern New Jersey coast. It is expected to rapidly strengthen and continue to move northeast, over Cape Cod and then up into eastern Maine by Monday Morning. The low pressure system is expected to explode. Strengthening from its current 1000mb low to as low as 964mb in about 24 hours. This is extremely impressive intensification. If the low were to have intensified this rapidly in its current location, and tracked across Long Island, and west of Cape Cod, then we very well could of had one heck of a Blizzard, but unfortunately/ fortunately (Whichever your take on snow is) that will not occur. Either way we will still be seeing some significant snow, and strong winds to produce near Blizzard conditions at times. I have had to lower snowfall amounts for much of the area, due to a delayed start, and what appears to be a faster ending. Stay tuned for further updates.
