So yeah I just read an article on accuweather.com ( http://headlines.accuweather.com/news-stor...adc=0&article=6 ) and It got me thinking... what is this really does happen??? I looked at the GFS and it seems to strongly back this idea up. What do you think?

Best of all, I'd be in that band of heavy snow! :D

Ofcourse thats the worst case scenario taken by the GFS SE BIAS it could be more north. I don't think that many areas will be snow surpassing 4 inches though. Even though the NHC storm outlook did show several areas have a 40 % chance to get over 4 inches of snow.

It's safe to say that the major cities will not recieve a major mix of precipition.

JB's take on it:

Wilma's landfall should be around sunrise tomorrow near Naples with pressure readings similar to a category 3 storm although the winds may not be that high. The wind field will be spread out so the Keys and areas from the hurricane track south and east will receive the strongest wind gusts...over 100 mph. Winds north of the center to Tampa will gust to 60 mph with gusts to hurricane force as far north as Vero Beach. Gales will howl along the East Coast to Wilmington NC. Heavy rain of 3-6 inches will occur across central and south Florida Sunday night and Monday with a few locally higher amounts. Winds from the Outer Banks to Long Island, New York Monday night and Tuesday can reach 60 mph in gusts with flooding rains expected. The hurricane itself stays out at sea and becomes the eastern focal point of the large ellipse of low pressure Tuesday night. The winds in the coastal waters of New England will mount to sustained storm force with gusts to hurricane force and seas should rise to near 30 feet. Windswept rains of 1-3 inches should cover much of New Jersey and southeast New York with 3-6 inch amounts in southeast New England. Snows will break out Tuesday in the high grounds from northeast Pennsylvania to central New England.

Will post a pic later

Couldnt get this on before and I had to go.

Looks pretty ferocious!

And my local station just said there would be measurable snow tuesday night, anywhere Albany and north. How much, they dont yet know...

But snow from a tropical system's remnants, I havent seen that before.

I see my images above are changing but oh well...

The forcast still calls for snow, partly from the moisture from wilma.
