Snow Up The Spine of the Appalachians
We finally have our official lake-effect snow map out, showing 1-3 inches of the white stuff southeast of each Lake. Remember from yesterday's entry, we could see localized amounts of up to a foot, and waterspouts / thundersnow are possible. I'll keep you apprised tomorrow and Tuesday of any interesting reports or snowfall totals.
It's also likely that flurries will be seen over a much wider area, with a dusting at higher elevations of the Appalachians, as far south as Southern Virginia. Frank Strait (PREMIUM | PRO says that flurries are possible in the North Carolina & Tennessee mountains but the ground will be too warm to stick).
The 4-KM WRF Forecast Model [JessePedia] shows a fairly wide coverage of light snow by Tuesday morning, and the NMM model generally agrees.
This is in advance of a coastal storm (which you can see as the rain off the Virginia coast below) that will give rain (and snow at higher elevations) to northern New England. Meteo Madness Man (PREMIUM | PRO) has some insight, and a different map, for both storms.
