Uh oh... guess who is in the middle of all of this...

Winter Storm Takes Aim on Mid-Atlantic

by Tim Ballisty , on Dec 17, 2009 9:28 am ET

8am Friday Update: Computer weather models are not in complete agreement at this hour.  The event is within 12 hours from beginning in the Southeast (SC, NC) so let's go with where our confidence is highest.

There will be a major snow event for western and central North Carolina.  There will be a major snow event for nearly the entire state of Virginia.

Washington, DC - this is still a major snowstorm for you.  Delaware, you are in the snow crosshairs too.

South Jersey, get ready for a plowable snow.

This is where things get tricky.  Does the winter storm take more of an easterly track and move away from the big Northeast cities of the I-95 corridor.

Or does the winter storm, intensify into an even more powerful storm, head north and produce blizzard conditions for Philadelphia, New York City and eventually Boston.

That is the major question of the morning.  We still don't have a concrete answer.  But we'll continue to follow the latest updates through the morning.

In the meantime winter storm warnings and watches are plastered across the Mid-Atlantic and parts of the Northeast.

A blizzard watch is in effect for Long Island.
