Areas affected...northeast Pennsylvania and southeast New York into
New England
Concerning...Heavy snow
Valid 252102Z - 260100Z
SUMMARY...Heavy snow will continue from northeast Pennsylvania to
New England this afternoon and into the evening.
DISCUSSION...Widespread heavy snow is ongoing across the the
Northeast and will continue into the evening. Numerous 6 hour
snowfall amounts of 8-9 inches have been received from Long Island
to Connecticut, supporting a mean snowfall rate of 1.5 inches per
hour. Given radar intensity trends, much of this likely came in the
last 3-4 hours, suggesting snowfall rates near 2 inches per hour are
likely ongoing. Expect these extreme rates to continue for another 3
to 4 hours from Connecticut to Massachusetts as frontogenesis
continues northeastward across New England. Thereafter, continued
heavy snow around 1 inch per hour may continue through the evening
as the deformation band pivots across the region.
