According to the National Weather Service, most areas from Washington, DC to Boston can expect 1 to 3 inches of snow, with locally higher amounts of 3 to 6 inches possible in parts of southern New England and along the coast.
The snow began overnight Saturday, Dec. 13, and will continue into Sunday morning, Dec. 14.
The system will wind down from south to north on Sunday. Snow is expected to end around 9 a.m. in Baltimore, midday in New York City, and by 3 p.m. in Boston, according to the National Weather Service.
The heaviest snow is expected through early Sunday, making travel slippery and causing slowdowns on roadways and at airports.
Cities including New York, Philadelphia, and Boston are forecast to see a general 1 to 3 inches. In contrast, up to 6 inches is possible on Long Island.
After the snow moves out, temperatures will drop sharply, so any untreated roads may remain slick.
Travelers and commuters are advised to use caution and keep an eye on updated forecasts as conditions improve by Sunday afternoon.
The storm is riding in on the most intense wave of frigid air so far this December, making for an even more treacherous Sunday.
The Arctic blast will send temperatures plunging, but relief is on the way.
“If it is any consolation, the Arctic blast will leave quickly with the worst conditions only lasting a little over 24 hours,” AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson said. “A significant warmup is in store for much of the central and eastern United States.”
