1) Snow Amounts & Impacts:
East Slopes of the Berks and northern Worcester Hills...
A very high impact/serious winter storm is in progress for the high
terrain of the northern Worcester Hills and Berks at and above 1000
feet. Powerful intensifying coastal low pressure is resulting in an
easterly firehose of moisture off the Atlantic which is combined
with upslope flow and adequate thermal profiles to produce very
heavy wet snow. This will be a very serious storm for this region
with 1 to 2+ feet of heavy wet snow resulting in downed tree limbs
and power outages. In fact...a few spots in the highest terrain may
see total snow amounts may approach 30 inches! The snow may become a
bit drier by late afternoon and into the evening before finally
winding down overnight. But a very serious storm is in progress for
this region and will continue into the evening.
