Conditions will deteriorate across the entire Northeast on Thursday as the storm moves inland. Winds will increase as rain and snow accompanying the storm become steadier.
The worst of the storm will blast the Northeast late Thursday into Friday morning. It is during this time that strong winds may cause damage over much of the Northeast.
The New England coast will also endure drenching rain and significant coastal flooding. An all-out blizzard may rage across the higher terrain of northern New England, much of New York state, northern Pennsylvania and northern New Jersey. It is also possible that a period of blizzard conditions may bear down on the Interstate 95 corridor from Providence to Philadelphia.
