A wave of warm, moist air from the US Gulf is expected to collide with cold air sweeping south from Canada. The resulting nor’easter will be capable of producing gusty winds and heavy snow along Interstate 95 from Philadelphia to northern Massachusetts. As much as 10 inches (25 centimeters) could fall on New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, with more than six inches in Boston beginning Sunday night.
