**NEW JERSEY WILL BE EPICENTER OF MAJOR COASTAL FLOODING ON SATURDAY **
The weekend powerhouse storm is coming into focus. Heaviest snowfall accumulation look to be confined to the coast, with lesser amounts the further north and west you head. In fact, the bust potential is fairly high for areas north of Rockland and Westchester counties.
Further south, over the Mid-Atlantic states, snowfall may reach record-setting territory!
Snow looks to spread into the metro area around daybreak Saturday and become heavy at times by mid-to-late morning. Blizzard conditions should develop for a time on the coast due to strong northeast winds and heavy snowfall. The likelihood of blizzard conditions is highest in the afternoon and evening, particularly along the coast. Travel may become impossible Saturday night.
The snowfall idea shown here is a blend of the available guidance, Steven Dimartino, Joe Cioffi and ideas of storm type from Joe Bastardi. The storm's structure and genre has striking similarities to the Blizzard of February 10/11 1983.

Coastal flooding will be a huge problem, particularly for the New Jersey coast; tides and water levels may exceed some of the highest recorded levels since the 1940s.
Another update will be necessary tomorrow afternoon or tomorrow night...
