Another Storm in the East

Rain, snow and flooding are once again concerns for folks along the Northeast coast today.  An area of low pressure developing along the Carolina coast this morning will continue to gather strength as it moves east and combines with another low in the upper levels of the atmosphere.  This will create a surface low to develop, intesify and become almost stationary over southern New York tonight and Friday.  Heavy snow can be expected through parts of Pennsylvania and into New York State.  Some of those areas could pick up a foot or two of heavy, wet snow!  Not only are residents going to have to deal with the snow - rain, coastal flooding and high winds will also come to play.  Winter Storm Warnings, Watches, Advisories as well as High Wind Watches have been posted for much of the New England coast. 

Ironically, the storm that is causing headaches out east could have an impact on our weather this weekend.  We talked about it earlier this week and how the low will move back west into the Eastern Great Lakes and keep the clouds around.  Temperatures through the weekend will stay below average with highs in the low to mid 30s.
