   0441 PM CST Sun Mar 03 2019

   Areas affected...Northern Maryland and Delaware northeastward into
   southeast New York...and southern Connecticut

   Concerning...Heavy snow 

   Valid 032241Z - 040245Z

   SUMMARY...Moderate snow is falling across much of northern Maryland
   and Delaware, southeast Pennsylvania, and New Jersey at this time.
   Snowfall rates are expected to increase through the evening with
   snowfall rates in excess of 2 inches per hour in the New York City
   metro area later this evening as the heaviest snow shifts
   northeastward.

   DISCUSSION...A 1005mb surface low is analyzed in northeast Georgia
   at 22Z with an expanding precipitation field to its north. Light to
   moderate snow is currently falling across northern Maryland and
   Delaware, southeast Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. Precipitation
   rates are expected to increase this evening as the surface low
   continues to deepen and moves off the North Carolina coast by 04 to
   05Z. The rain/snow line is expected to move slightly southeast over
   the next hour as precipitation rates increase (especially over New
   Jersey), but then move slightly northwest through the evening.
   However, overall the rain/snow line is expected to stay within 25
   miles of its current location. The heaviest snowfall is expected
   just northwest of this rain/snow line later this evening. This will
   most likely be near the New York City metro area between 03Z and 06Z
   where snowfall rates could exceed 2 inches per hour in some
   locations.
