Meteorologists are predicting a significant snowstorm in New England next week, with models indicating 1-2 feet of snow and a powerful closed upper low in the Gulf of Maine. The storm is expected to be fueled by a piece of the polar vortex and climate factors, resembling the 1975 end-of-winter storm. The event is described as a 'bomb blizzard' and is anticipated to hit on Wednesday and Thursday.
12z ECMWF 500mb Hgt/Vort thru Thu. Models continue to show an April #snowstorm for Northeast midweek. Short wave responsible for potential elevation #snow event, is still off the Aleutians and it shows some phasing with Southern Stream energy too. #uncertainty @foxweather https://t.co/GmscMHDmjb
Nor'easter -- "bomb blizzard" next Wed/Thurs across New England. ❄️April [snow] showers bring May flowers🌺 https://t.co/X1dCWt8fdF https://t.co/xIxEM2KQDR
The dynamical global models are now pretty consistent in depicting an unusually strong, and thus exceptionally rare, April snowstorm in New England next week. Most of the ECM/GFS/GEM deterministic and ensemble members have a powerful closed upper low in the Gulf of Maine by next… https://t.co/9cEoIVfoA2
EURO model update: A massive climate-fueled blizzard is poised to "bomb" New England next week Wed/Thurs with 1-2 feet of snow. https://t.co/nzLfexnXEV
Overall pattern favors a major NE storm mid next week. Ptypes to deal with next week. https://t.co/mPHfWi9fQF
NE Bomb to end winter. Severe weather outbreak Monday and Tuesday south of the path. Piece of the polar vortex dives into the Ohio valley and northeast forcing bomb o genesis on east coast. Shades of the great 1975 end-of-winter storm shown yesterday! Euro goes nuts https://t.co/QN2DJlCBsA
