Mesoscale Discussion 0005
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0506 AM CST Thu Jan 04 2018

   Areas affected...From eastern New Jersey and Delaware into southern
   New England

   Concerning...Heavy snow 

   Valid 041106Z - 041700Z

   SUMMARY...Snow rates will increase in intensity through midday, with
   max rates to 3"/hr into southern New England after about 10am local
   time.

   DISCUSSION...Precipitation continues to increase offshore as the
   surface low rapidly deepens. The heaviest snow bands were affecting
   eastern New Jersey as of 10Z but heavy snow was rapidly developing
   across Long Island. The zone of strongest frontogenetical forcing
   will lift northward and strengthen through late morning, likely
   resulting in an intense, pivoting band of heavy snow capable of
   2-3"/hr rates from central Long Island to Boston. The rain/snow line
   will remain nearly stationary near or just west of Cape Cod.
