THE SURFACE LOW IS EXPECTED TO LINGER ALONG THE SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND COAST FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS AND SNOW WILL CONTINUE ACROSS
THE NORTHEAST AND CENTRAL APPALACHIANS THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
HOWEVER...THE STRONG WINDS AND LARGE AREAS OF HEAVY PRECIPITATION
OVER THE NORTHEAST AND NORTHERN MID-ATLANTIC WILL BEGIN TO
DIMINISH BY FRIDAY EVENING AS THE SURFACE LOW RAPIDLY FILLS AND
WEAKENS. THIS STORM HAS ALREADY CAUSED WIDESPREAD SNOWFALL TOTALS
OF 10 TO 20 INCHES FROM NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA TO NORTHERN
VERMONT AND ADDITIONAL TOTALS OF UP TO A FOOT ARE POSSIBLE BEFORE
THE HEAVY SNOW COMES TO AN END FRIDAY EVENING.
THE NEXT STORM SUMMARY WILL BE ISSUED BY THE HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL
PREDICTION CENTER AT 1000 AM EST. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR LOCAL
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OFFICE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS
EVENT.
