Wednesday Forecast
Rain, sleet, and snow will spread across NYC and southern New England by Wednesday morning. As low pressure strengthens off shore, colder air will be drawn into the storm causing the rain-snow line to sink toward the coast. Precipitation will continue, heavy at times, in southern and eastern New England through Wednesday night.
In addition to the precipitation, strong winds and minor to moderate coastal flooding are expected. The combination of snow, sleet, and wind will make for difficult driving conditions on Wednesday from Virginia to eastern New England. Air travel will also be impacted, with numerous delays and cancellations likely.
The nor’easter will move away from the region on Thursday.
