On the heels of Winter Storm Fern, a strong storm will form off the East Coast this weekend that will bring snow, wind and coastal flooding. Blizzard conditions are even possible in a few areas.

Snow showers move in throughout the day on Saturday along with gusty wind, tidal flooding and sub-zero wind chills.

A significant winter event is expected to begin after midnight Friday night. Snow showers are likely to develop by sunrise on Saturday, with the heaviest accumulations (3 to 5 inches or more) forecast for areas east and northeast of Atlanta, including Gwinnett, Hall, and Walton counties.

Parts of southern New Jersey, particularly closest to the Jersey Shore, could get a dusting to 2 inches of snow Saturday night into Sunday.

A winter storm has delayed the exhibition event to Monday.

A pleasant Saturday is in the forecast with mostly sunny skies and temperatures reaching the upper teens by this afternoon. Expect increasing cloud cover by late afternoon and throughout the evening as a band of light snow approaches from the Dakota’s by midnight tonight.
