Plenty of moisture, a lack of arctic air and a fast-moving, but strengthening storm will all weigh in to bring a wintry mess along the Atlantic Seaboard Friday night into Saturday night.

Enough rain, snow or a mix thereof will lead to travel delays from the Interstate-81 corridor to I-95.

According to AccuWeather.com Chief Meteorologist Elliot Abrams, "Airline passengers on the East coast can expect delays due to direct effects of the storm ranging from poor visibility and low clouds to drenching rain and heavy snow."

Ripple-effect delays are possible in other parts of the nation with some crews and aircraft being displaced.

A mix of rain and snow or a change to plain rain for a time will limit the snowfall accumulation from Washington, D.C., to Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York City and Providence, Rhode Island. Only a small amount of snow will fall around Washington, D.C. However, farther to the northeast, several inches of snow can accumulate prior to or following a change to rain.

North and west of the I-95 swath from Washington, D.C. to New York City, more substantial snow will fall with likely enough to shovel and plow.
