Discussion
A major coastal storm is in the works for later Sunday and Sunday night in the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US and it will feature the entrainment of tropical moisture to its south and east and the intrusion of cold, polar air to its west and north. This coastal storm could bring several inches of rain to portions of the interior Northeast US, significant rainfall to the DC-Philly-NYC corridor, and even some accumulating snow to the higher elevations of the Appalachians. Strong winds will also become an important feature in this unfolding scenario; especially, for coastal New Jersey, Long Island and southern New England.
