COURT HOUSE – A major winter storm is expected Friday night, Jan. 22 through late Saturday, Jan. 23, according to National Weather Service.
Precipitation is currently likely across all of the region late Friday through Saturday night. Snow is expected across all of the area for the second half of Friday. There is the potential for snow to change to rain on Saturday which would lower any accumulations. The position and amount of rain/snow is dependent upon the track and strength of the storm, which is unknown as the storm is still too far out.
Gusty winds are a concern, which could lead to blowing and drifting snow, as well as beach erosion. The strongest gusts will be along the coast. Wind speeds of 25 to 40 mph with higher gusts are possible.
With the strong onshore flow, and a full moon on Saturday, major flooding is anticipated along the coasts of New Jersey and Delaware and moderate to major flooding along Delaware Bay. Back bay flooding is also likely in these areas.
According to National Weather Service, this storm is still several days away. A track closer to the coast would result in more rain and a track further south or east would lessen the overall impacts. Computer models continue to differ on the ultimate solution, and these differences are very important to the final forecast.
Regardless, be prepared for difficult traveling conditions beginning late Friday afternoon or evening. Power outages are possible due to strong winds, as well as property damage due to coastal flooding, along with beach erosion.
