Discussion
Strong low pressure will head towards the Carolina coastline this morning and then take a turn to the northeast and intensify along the way as it heads to a position off the NJ coastline by early Tuesday and then off of eastern New England by late Tuesday. It looks like the storm will come close enough tonight to generate some accumulating snow for the Philly metro region with 1-3" possible by morning and there can be slippery spots for the morning commute. As with the prior coastal storms, the impact looks greater over the next 24 hours or so as one moves northeast along the coastline and eastern New England, for example, is likely to get significant snow. Looking ahead, a vigorous disturbance could cause snow showers here on Wednesday - perhaps even a heavier snow squall.
