An intense, slow-moving winter storm will move up the Eastern Seaboard Friday evening through Saturday and into early Sunday. The storm will produce heavy snow which will combine with driving winds to create dangerous and prolonged blizzard conditions with near-zero visibilities and massive drifts. Snowfall totals of 8-16 inches will be common with some isolated totals near a foot. Winds will gust 40 to occasionally 55 mph at times, highest along the coast, where some moderate coastal flooding could threaten low-lying areas. Travel will become progressively more difficult through Saturday with some delays and disruptions likely on public transportation lines. Stay safe by avoiding travel and use your MORECAST app to keep up with the latest forecasts.
