.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
*Winter Storm Warnings remain up across the entire forecast
area.
*Adjusted snowfall totals across the board with storm totals around 8-10 inland and 6-9 inches near the coast. Locally higher amounts.
Impressive snow banding has been occurring with strong mid level frontogenesis this morning. We have been receiving reports in Orange County around 8 inches and seeing reports into CT 4-6" in
interior S CT. Have bumped totals back up in this corridor, but also note the heaviest banding should begin to sag southeastward this morning with rates dropping off inland in the next few
hours.
Elsewhere, made some minor adjustments up with the overall totals remaining similar except indicating some enhanced totals
across Long Island as banding likely persists a few hours longer than places further N&W. A general 6-8 inches looks likely with locally higher amounts due to the banding.
Snowfall rates of 1-2" per hour are expected through midday for
much of the area, but rates should be coming down inland in the
next few hours.
