Winter storm warning in effect for most of the state

The National Weather Service issued winter storm and blizzard warnings from New York’s Long Island all the way to northern ME, and reported snow accumulations of as much as 9 inches in some MA towns by mid-afternoon Monday, along with winds of 30 to 40 miles per hour. Parts of New Jersey saw about 4 inches before the snow tapered off, while rain that turned to snow snarled the morning commute in eastern Pennsylvania and caused some schools to delay opening.

This will bring about 2 inches to Washington and possibly 4 to Philadelphia, said David Roth, a meteorologist with the U.S. Weather Prediction Center in College Park, Md.

This time, forecasters at the National Weather Service said we’re looking at the potential of only two inches at most from this storm.

“While it may not be snowing during the entire time during the advisory the cold temperatures will make the threat for accumulating snowfall present during the first half of the week”, the NWS said in the advisory.

No accumulation is expected, but snow showers could hit Hall County on Monday and Tuesday.

The Jefferson Post will update as further details become available.

A winter storm watch was issued for southeastern MA in advance of a storm expected to impact the area Monday.

Temperatures are expected to rise starting on Wednesday, reaching into the high 40s by the end of the week.

“We’ll have a high in the upper teens with wind”.

Sunday: A 20 percent chance of snow, high near 22. “Lighter snow is with us into the overnight, as well”.

A pattern change that is taking place across the East will allow for another chance of snow early this week, as an area of low pressure may develop off the coast behind Winter Storm Mars. But expect lows in the 20s at night.

Wednesday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 18.
