.Low pressure will take shape east of Florida during the day
Wednesday and then strengthen rapidly as it lifts north to a
position off the New England coast on Thursday and into the
Canadian maritimes Thursday night. This storm has the potential to
bring heavy snow and strong winds...especially to coastal
sections of Maine and New Hampshire where blizzard conditions are
possible. Some uncertainty remains with regards to the exact
track of this storm...so stay tuned to later updates. As this
storm departs on Friday...bitterly cold air will arrive from
Canada...along with strong northwesterly winds.
