There's still high uncertainty in the forecast Wednesday, due to disagreement among forecast models showing two scenarios: A storm that stays offshore enough to bring a few inches of snow to the I-95 corridor or a storm that tracks close enough to produce a crippling snowstorm.
The pieces will start to come together Friday, with a fast-moving storm system moving through the mid-Atlantic and Northeast.
Meanwhile, another disturbance will move across the southern tier, eventually becoming a coastal low off the Carolina coast.

A factor leading to the explosive development of the storm system will be the near-record warm waters of the western Atlantic Ocean which are running several degrees above average.
Just like in the case of hurricanes, warm water temperatures also fuel nor'easters.

If the two pieces on Friday merge, a stronger storm with heavier snow and higher winds is likely. Double-digit snowfall totals would be possible over a wide area.
If they don't merge, a weaker storm farther out to sea with less snow and wind is likely.
