Storm Update 8:45am

Forecast Discussion

No major changes to the forecast.  My major concern is for Zones B and C.  I anticipate the following in these areas:

 

A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 9 PM THIS EVENING TO 6 PM EST TUESDAY

* WHAT…Mixed precipitation expected. Total snow accumulations of 2 to 4 inches and ice accumulations of one tenth to two tenths of an inch. The highest snow accumulation will occur across the Lower Hudson Valley and interior southwest Connecticut.

* WHEN…From 9 PM this evening to 6 PM EST Tuesday.

* IMPACTS...Plan on slippery road conditions. The hazardous conditions could impact the morning or evening commute.
