Winter isn’t quite done yet – in a special dose of irony, it looks likely that for the first time ever we will have a snowier March than the preceding January and February combined.
Other areas (see below) are going to get it worse, but starting Sunday night and lasting through some or most of the day Monday we’re likely to see a few inches of wet snow. Details are too hazy to pinpoint, but anywhere from a slushy covering to 3-4” look possible at this point. The ground is obviously very warm and hopefully the roads will be treated, but I would still expect some travel problems (especially on the Monday morning commute).
Beyond Tuesday/Wednesday the pattern will flip and we’re likely to be well above average (i.e., 50s and maybe 60s) by the following weekend.
In the meantime, our snow on Sunday/Monday could be a much bigger deal to our south and west, and once it moves east it could develop into a potent nor’easter. The track is too uncertain for the DC-NYC-Boston corridor, but it could be anything from a vicious, driving rain with 40-50 mph winds or a major snowstorm. 2-6” in DC to well over a foot in NYC/Boston are possible in the latter scenario. Travel disruption looks very likely Monday/Tuesday across the entire Northeast.
