Here Comes The Snow!

Significant snow is expected across the East Coast on Christmas Night through Monday. Blizzard conditions are more likely in New England and possible across New York City and the mid-Atlantic Coast.

The low pressure is now expected to become stronger farther south and track closer to the coast. This means more than 6 inches can fall from eastern North Carolina to New England.

Early Christmas morning, snow has spread across northern Mississippi, Alabama and most of Tennessee. Lighter snow is falling across most of the Ohio Valley into Virginia.

On Sunday into Monday, the storm will parallel the Northeast coast and strengthen in the process. There is growing confidence here at AccuWeather.com that the storm will be close enough to the coast to bring a heavy snowfall to most of the Eastern Seaboard.

Accumulations from the Delmarva to New England will be at least 6 inches with more than a foot possible.
