NEW YORK, NEW YORK — A powerful Sunday night into Monday snowstorm is targeting the major I-95 corridor cities, including Philadelphia, New York City, Hartford, and Boston, with forecast models now aligning on the potential for 12 inches or more of snowfall across large portions of Delaware, New Jersey, Connecticut, and eastern Massachusetts. Coastal areas could also see 50–75 MPH wind gusts, raising the risk of near-blizzard conditions and significant air-travel disruptions nationwide.
Forecast guidance shows the storm intensifying rapidly as it tracks northeast along the coastline, placing some of the most densely populated cities in the country directly in its path.
12–24 Inches Possible From Philadelphia to Boston
Current model projections highlight a broad swath of 12–18 inches from Philadelphia through New York City and into interior southern New England. Farther north and east, especially around Boston and eastern Massachusetts, totals could climb into the 18–24 inch range if the storm strengthens as expected.
Key projected snowfall ranges include:
- Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: Around 12–18 inches
- New York City, New York: Approximately 12–18 inches
- Hartford, Connecticut: Roughly 8–12 inches, with higher amounts possible nearby
- Boston, Massachusetts: Between 18–24 inches, particularly in eastern sections
Meanwhile, Washington, D.C. may sit on the southern edge of the heaviest banding, with forecasts indicating around 4–8 inches, depending on the final storm track…
