Round One Snow: Philly to NYC Friday night, Saturday

A swath of snow will streak northeastward across the coastal mid-Atlantic to southern New England spanning late Friday night into Saturday, ahead of a major snowstorm for coastal areas of the Northeastern states a bit later in the weekend.

The snow will not fall along I-95 in the mid-Atlantic until after the evening rush hour.
The snow will start as rain in portions of the mid-Atlantic but will end as snow.

While the snow from the preliminary disturbance may not last long, the snowfall rate could be close to an inch per hour in a few locations, causing road conditions to change rapidly.

A quick 1 to 3 inches of snow can result in wet and slushy travel by Saturday morning along I-95 from Philadelphia, New York City and Hartford. A slushy coating of snow is possible around Washington, D.C., with a coating to an inch farther northeast around Baltimore, Md., and Wilmington, Del.

Mixed rain and snow showers will transition to snow showers Friday evening over the central Appalachians, which can also bring a coating to an inch and perhaps a bit more in the snowiest spots over the ridges.

Blizzards and blizzard conditions are expected to reach as far as Maine into Saturday.
