MAJOR - HISTORICAL WINTER STORM ON THE WAY

So many things involved in the placements of the heaviest snow. I am seeing shift to the south this evening and the heaviest snow could be south of what I have set.

This will be interesting with banding snows setting up. Some areas may be far less and some a lot more based on meso scale set ups. In these bands of heavier, high snows, closer to the highest ends of precip amounts will show up. Some thunder and lightning is possible. As the storm strengthens, winds will increase and near blizzard conditions will set up. Along the coast of New Jersey and Delaware, blizzard warnings were posted. More may be posted by tomorrow evening.

The heavy snow area will likely set up between Washington DC and Richmond about mid way and to the coast. This is based on some later model information.

I think Central Virginia is now headed for a 10 to 12 even higher snow storm.

This is a HUGE storm!
