WINTER STORM: February 12 & 13
EVENT SUMMARY: Posted 2.12.24 PM Briefing
FINAL UPDATE: 8:45 pm
February12-13WinterStorm_Briefing6
A winter storm is forecast to impact the region late tonight and especially Tuesday morning.
Significant, at times heavy accumulating snowfall is forecast north and west of I-76, I-95,
and I-195. Precipitation will begin as rain initially in most areas before changing to snow late
tonight. Snowfall rates over 1” per hour, especially around the Tuesday morning commute, which
will make for very hazardous travel conditions.
Rain changing to accumulating snowfall is forecast near the I-76, I-95, and I-195 corridors.
Snowfall rates of 0.5” to 1” per hour are possible. While accumulations are expect to be relatively
light near I-95, the heavy snow rates could result in poor travel conditions Tuesday morning,
especially farther north.
Minor to moderate coastal flooding is forecast with the Tuesday high tide for the Atlantic
coasts of New Jersey & Delaware, Delaware Bay, and the tidal Delaware River.
Dangerous marine conditions are expected Tuesday with gale force winds and seas 6 to 9
feet.
Widespread rainfall amounts near 1” are forecast where mainly rain occurs. Fresh water
flooding is not expected to pose a threat, although rainfall may exacerbate coastal flooding.
