Winter weather strikes across Kentucky, Tennessee

An Accuweather.com map displays potential snow amounts, however, National Weather Service forecasters are not yet ready to say how much snow New Jersey could get from the storm.

A few hours later, new weather models showed that the once anticipated major snowstorm may possibly miss CT all together because the storm would stay south. The epicenter for the powerful storm would be the mid-Atlantic states and specifically Washington, D.C.

Simmons said the snow was supposed to start late Friday but it now appears likely it won’t begin until after daybreak Saturday and won’t end until Sunday, and can impact your plans. We are monitoring its track closely because if it moves further north we are looking at another round of accumulating snow to end the work week. But it’s not yet clear where the storm will hit the hardest, he said Wednesday.

This will be the first major nor’easter snow storm of the season in a winter that hasn’t seen much snow in the eastern half of the country.

The weather service issued a winter weather advisory for other areas of Kentucky and Tennessee that calls for up to 3 inches of snow followed by light freezing rain, making travel conditions hazardous. “We’ve seen that in storms in the past”.

District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser said Wednesday that the city was preparing for blizzard conditions and up to 2 feet of snow. The strongest winds and potentially life threatening conditions are expected Friday night through Saturday night. Please see our terms of service for more information.

By this point, strong winds are expected from the Midwest down to the Southeast and into the Mid-Atlantic.

A significant ice storm could set up over parts of the Carolinas.

The storm is expected to miss northern New England.

For areas inland, 6 inches of snow or less, Simmons said. Little to no snow is in the forecast for Vermont.
