People who were counting on winter to be over might be in for a surprise Sunday.
AccuWeather says colder air will set the stage for a snowstorm in part of the region from Sunday into Monday.The range for our region is 3-5 inches on unpaved surfaces, according to AccuWeather. The National Weather Service right now says 1 to 3 inches are possible.The exact track of the storm is dependent on a number of variables, which have yet to fall into place. However, the storm is likely to track close enough to the Atlantic coast to bring accumulating snow to the Interstate 95 corridor."There has only been one storm that turned out to sea this winter, so we are fairly confident this one is coming up near the coast," AccuWeather senior meteorologist Bernie Rayno said.During the day Sunday, the storm will be relatively weak. Some of the snow that falls will melt on warm, paved surfaces in the mid-Atlantic. The storm can be mixed with rain for a time in the coastal mid-Atlantic.The rate of snow is likely to ramp up significantly near New York City during Sunday night."If the storm develops to its full potential, then a blizzard could evolve in part of New England," Rayno said.Check
