Late Winter Storm to Produce Heavy, Wet Snow on Wednesday and Wednesday Night...

Low pressure is weakening over the Ohio Valley this evening.  Another low is developing over South Carolina.  This storm will strengthen as it moves northeastward along the coast to a position south of Long Island Wednesday evening. Already a large area of snow and rain has spread northward from South Carolina to New York State.  Winter Storm Warnings are in effect from Pennsylvania to Maine for 4 to 8 inches in the city and as much as 12 to 18 inches with isolated higher amounts over the northern and western suburbs. This will be the second Nor'easter in six days following the major storm that impacted the Northeast last Friday and Saturday.  Dry and unseasonably cold weather will continue for the rest of the week. There is the possibility of another coastal storm that could impact the Mid-Atlantic early next week.
