As the Nor'easter moves farther away, blizzard conditions across southeastern New England will gradually subside this evening. However, coastal Maine should see heavier snow and gale-force winds further into the evening before the storm pulls away on Tuesday. Snowfall totals as high as one to three feet plus can be expected from this Nor'easter from the Delmarva Peninsula to Massachusetts, with 6 to 12 inches up coastal Maine. The combination of heavy snowfall and strong wind gusts (40-60 mph) will result in blizzard conditions across these regions, and sharply reduced visibility will make travel extremely treacherous. These strong winds combined with the weight of heavy, wet snow, should result in scattered to numerous power outages. Additionally, moderate to major coastal flooding, with the inundation of roads and property near the waterfront, is forecast from Delaware to Cape Cod. The next Storm Summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction Center at 1000 PM EST. Please refer to your local National Weather Service office for additional information on this event.

Southeastern New England is currently experiencing the most severe blizzard conditions.

However, coastal Maine could see heavier snow and gale-force winds later today into the evening before the storm pulls away on Tuesday. Snowfall totals as high as one to two feet can be expected from this Nor'easter from the Delmarva Peninsula to Massachusetts, with 6 to 12 inches up coastal Maine. The combination of heavy snowfall and strong wind gusts (40-70 mph) will result in blizzard conditions across these regions, and sharply reduced visibility will make travel extremely treacherous. These strong winds combined with the weight of heavy, wet snow, should result in scattered to numerous power outages. Additionally, moderate to major coastal flooding, with the inundation of roads and property near the waterfront, is forecast from Delaware to Cape Cod.
