114 PM EST Sun Dec 1 2019
...LONG LASTING WINTER STORM WILL BRING TWO BOUTS OF SNOW TO
MUCH OF THE REGION THROUGH TUESDAY...
.A complex low pressure system is moving out of the Midwest and
Great Lakes this afternoon. Snow is likely to begin in southern
New Hampshire this evening with a period of heavy snow likely
overnight Sunday night into early Monday morning. Snowfall rates
may reach an inch per hour.
Snow is expected to decrease in intensity during the day on
Monday with another round of heavier snow possible Monday night
into Tuesday primarily affecting the coastal plain of Maine. Due
to the long duration nature of this winter storm, storm total
snowfall amounts will be challenging to forecast and hard to
measure. However, the prolonged period of snow will lead to wintry
driving conditions lasting into Tuesday.
