Spring To Start With Snowy Wallop, Winter Storm Warning

The first day of spring usually brings the promise of blooms in the garden and birds in the bush. This year it promises a meteorological punch in the face. Yet another coast-hugging nor'easter--the fourth in a month--could dump up to 14 inches of snow on the region by the time it blows out on Wednesday evening. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a winter storm warning for 6 this evening until 2 a.m. Thursday.

The storm is a two-parter, starting tonight with rain and sleet and then changing to all snow after 11 a.m. Wednesday, the NWS said.

Daytime highs will be around 38 today and 36 Wednesday; lows will be around 32 tonight and 31 Wednesday night.

Winds can gust as high as 40 mph today and tonight, and 44 mph tomorrow, the NWS said.

A coastal flood advisory will be in effect from 9 a.m. Wednesday until 5 a.m. Thursday.
