New York City, New York, and Mid-Atlantic Counties with Snow and High Winds is Expected to be Approximately 8 inches by Monday

Early this week, parts of northern Connecticut, northern Rhode Island and most of Massachusetts are forecast for intense snow between 4 and 8 inches and wind gusts as high as 40 miles per hour.

A storm is set to hit the Mid-Atlantic and New England Monday with high winds, coastal flooding and a foot of snow in some areas.

Despite the forecast of snow and rain, forecasters says it will be relatively warm across the eastern U.S. compared to previous weeks given the lack of cold air coming from Canada.

Meanwhile, further southeast near Philadelphia and Camden, N.J., there is a potential for minor coastal flooding starting Sunday into Tuesday. The NWS said to prepare for partial or full road closures.

Further south of Binghamton, in counties like Monticello, the snow will be even harsher with up to a foot of snow possibly appearing Monday evening. Meanwhile north of Binghamton, like in Syracuse, the snowfall is expected to be light — with less than an inch forecast to accumulate.

The bigger concern is coastal flooding in Long Island’s South Shore. The NWS says parking lots, parks and buildings with basements are vulnerable.

In some parts of Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts there will be a winter storm watch. The NWS said to be especially careful while traveling, given the harsh weather conditions.

Boston’s mayor imposed a parking ban on major roads, and ordered city buildings and public schools to be closed on Tuesday due to a snow emergency.

With the arrival of the first major snowstorm of the winter, the teams are prepared to clear our roads and respond to any emergencies.

“Please be aware of parking restrictions so that we can clear the roads as quickly as possible, and check on your neighbors, family, and friends to be sure everyone has a plan to stay inside and stay safe,” she added.

In New York, Gov. Kathy Hochul urged people to stock up on essentials and not travel unless it’s necessary. New York City public schools preemptively closed Tuesday and planned to hold classes remotely.

The wet and windy conditions could cause trees to fall, snarl traffic, and damage power lines, in a number of busy East Coast cities.

On Monday, the storm system was tracking through the Southeast and the Ohio Valley. Meteorologists predicted up to 6 inches of snow in parts of the Ozarks, as well as showers and thunderstorms across the Southeast.

The NWS said that the Oklahoma City area received several inches of snow on Sunday, with a small area in southwest Oklahoma getting as much as a foot of snow.
