A potent winter storm will impact the Southeast and East Coast through Tuesday. Locally heavy snow is possible for these areas.


The storm is taking shape over the Southeast after the upper level disturbance associated with the system produced a foot of snow in portions of western Tennessee, northeastern Arkansas, and the Missouri Boot Heel. While snowfall amounts are not expected to be quite as high in the Southeast today, portions of Alabama, Georgia, and the Carolinas could see in the neighborhood of six inches of snow today and tonight. The snow will taper off from west to east: during the daylight hours in Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee, and during the evening and overnight hours in Georgia, eastern Tennessee, and the western Carolinas. Snow will wind down by the afternoon hours tomorrow in North Carolina and much of Virginia.


As the surface low moves from southern Georgia to off the Mid-Atlantic Coast, snow will begin to crank up near the coast from Virginia through the Northeast. 6 inches or more of new snow is expected from northern Virginia through Maine, with pockets near a foot of snow or more near Chesapeake and Delaware Bays, the eastern end of Long Island, and Southeastern New England.



Snow will begin to wind down tomorrow evening in the Mid-Atlantic, and wind down to some snow showers or snow flurries over Upstate New York and New England Monday night into Tuesday.


In addition to the snow, gusty winds are expected as the low strengthens and moves up the coast. Sustained winds between 20 to 30 miles per hour are expected for many areas east of the Mississippi River with gusts over 40 miles per hour. These winds will spread into the Northeast tonight and tomorrow.



In the warm sector of the system, some severe thunderstorms are possible today from the South Carolina Coast southward through the Florida Peninsula. Some locally heavy rain is possible along the North Carolina Coast where one to two inches of rain is possible before mixing with some snow tonight and ending by tomorrow afternoon.


Stay tuned to The Weather Channel and weather.com for the latest on this storm system.

This morning we had alot of rain before daybreak, but things are calm now. Chilly temps and slight winds here in Upstate SC, however I don't think temps are low enough here to see any major snow activity. The mositure is present, but the temps are not. March is ALWAYS got some windy, blustery days in the month and all you can do it stay inside and enjoy college basketball's March Madness and all the thrilling plays it brings to us sports fans.

I think I heard about tornadoes in Southern Georgia yesterday, but not sure if this was part of the same system.

F-ing high of like 89 here today. This is a joke. Its supposedly "winter" and its hot outside.

We get heat a good 7 months out of the year. I look forward to the 3-4 months of relief.

I hate the heat and I live in the desert. Go figure.

house just shook with loudest thunder i have heard in quite a while....this storm is a beast..look out up north it will be there tomorrow....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thundersnow


There are usually four forms of thundersnow:

* Thunder and lighting sometimes happen in a snowstorm, although it is somewhat rare
* A normal thunderstorm on the leading edge of a cold front or warm front that can either form in a winter environment or one that runs into cool air and where the precipitation takes the form of snow.
* A heavy synoptic snowstorm in the comma head of an extratropical cyclone that sustains strong vertical mixing which allows for favorable conditions for lightning and thunder to occur.
* A lake effect or ocean effect thunderstorm which is produced by cold air passing over relatively warm water; this effect commonly produces snow squalls over the Great Lakes.

One unique aspect of thundersnow is that the snowfall acts as an acoustic suppressor of the thunder. The thunder from a typical thunderstorm can be heard many kilometers away, while the thunder from thundersnow can usually only be heard within a two to three kilometer radius from the lightning. In the United States, March is their peak month of formation, and on average, only three events are reported per year.[1] For example, on March 27, 2008, thundersnow was observed in the area of northern Indiana between South Bend and Gary; forecasters reported over 110 lightning strikes while parts of the Indiana Toll Road experienced whiteout blizzard conditions.[citation needed]

Thundersnow, while rare anywhere, is more common with lake effect snow in the Great Lakes area of the United States and Canada, the midwestern U.S., and the Great Salt Lake. It has also been reported around Kanazawa and the Sea of Japan, and even around Mount Everest during expeditions. When such storms happen at ski areas, these mountains are often evacuated for safety.

I is in Lyman SC, half way between Spartanburg and Greenville. Snowing hard here now and sticking. Worried that power will be off by midnight. Just got done watching Shaq and the Suns get one from Kobe and the Lakers. It was a good game.
