At 900 PM EST...An occluded low pressure center with a minimum
central pressure of 967 mb, or approximately 28.55 inches of
mercury, was analyzed north of New Brunswick. The strong attendant
cold front has since exited the CONUS and continues to surge
eastward into the western Atlantic. In its wake, RADAR and surface
observations detected a band of moderate snow focused over eastern
New England. Meanwhile, light to moderate snowfall was observed
beneath an area of snow squalls over the interior Northeast into
the Mid-Atlantic. Gusty northwesterly winds persisted from the
Mid-Atlantic into New England, with some stations reporting wind
gusts exceeding 30 knots.

snowfall is anticipated from New England through the interior

wake of the strong front, record breaking low temperatures are
expected over the Southeast tonight, before the airmass moderates
to begin the work week.

The next Storm Summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction
Center at 1000 AM EST. Please refer to your local National Weather
Service office for additional information on this event.
