Snowfall rates overnight could reach 1-2 inches per hour causing a major impact on driving especially above 1,000 feet. Northeast winds gusting to 40 45 MPH at times combined with the wet snow sticking to trees are likely to cause a moderate numbe of power outages from uprooted trees and broken limbs.

Tuesday:

Moderate to heavy wet snow is expected to overspread the entire state during the day. The wet snow combined with strong north winds will likely cause additional power outages. Major impacts are possible on driving conditions and power outages with snowfall rates of 1-2 inches per hour at times.
