The cold front will move to the east through tomorrow morning,
eventually moving off the East Coast by early tomorrow afternoon.
Snowfall will continue to taper off for western portions of the
Lower Great Lakes while beginning to expand further into the
Interior Northeast as the cold front pushes east. A band of
heavier snowfall totals, as high as 6-8 inches, is forecast
through tomorrow morning from central Indiana northeast to
southeastern Michigan. In the Interior Northeast, the heaviest
snow should be limited to far northern Upstate New York and
northern Maine, where 8-12 inches of snow is possible. The shores
of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario may see between 4-6 inches, with
snowfall totals decreasing rapidly outside these areas. In the
warm sector ahead of the front, a Slight Risk of Excessive
rainfall remains in effect for portions of the Upper Ohio Valley
and Interior Northeast, where additional rainfall may lead to some
instances of flooding, particularly where heavier rain totals have
already occurred.
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.
