A winter storm is expected to pummel the Northeast with heavy snow and rain starting Monday night and lasting through Tuesday morning, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).
The storm is slated to cross the mid-South on Monday before transitioning into a “strong nor’easter” for the mid-Atlantic and New England by Tuesday, the Weather Service said, with some areas expected to see snowfall totals of 6 to 12 inches.
Heavy snowfall on Monday is likely in the area stretching from central Oklahoma through southern Missouri, including in the Ozarks, forecasters predicted, before moving toward the mid-Atlantic states in the evening, with cold air producing large amounts of snow.
Heavy snowfall accumulation is expected across central and eastern Pennsylvania , up through northern New Jersey and New York, where people could see at least 6 inches of snow, the NWS of New York said . Areas of the lower Hudson Valley and Connecticut could see closer to a foot of snow, NWS New York added.
