The low is being kicked out by another low pressure system coming from the west. Looks like our chances to get a "last-gasp-from-winter" snow event are going down the toilet.

I guess the only place to go is the coast where all the gales will be. There could be coastal flooding along the mid atlantic coast. Tides of 2.5-3 feet above normal tide levels may end up being an underestimate. At 4-5 feet above normal, flooding becomes a concern in a more significant fashion. Coastal flood watches maybe needed to account for this. We'll see.

Most of the precipitation appears at this time to stay along the coast. But with instability and cold air aloft in place, that march sun alone could generate bursts of rain and snow showers once again even if the core of this storm stays east of the major cities of Baltimore, Washington DC, and Philadelphia. Southern New England up to Boston has a better shot to see wind and heavy snow from this system, but heavy wet snow.

More on this soon. This storm has several issue running up it's sleeve.
