PA/NJ…
Precipitation has ended across the area…with blustery conditions in the wake of the departing low. Have received several reports of 12+ across the Pocono mountain region of Carbon and Monroe cntys into the hills of xtreme NW NJ of Sussex cnty. In these areas, some additional power outages are likely, especially across higher elevations, overnight as strong NW winds continue to impact the region. Lake effect snow showers have formed off Lake Erie and are currently impacting parts of western PA... where a T-2" are possible across NW PA exending down to the Laurel ridge.

NY/New England…
Current radar shows most of the precip has tapered across most of southeast New York and southern New England this evening with renegade showers, some locally heavy in and round the NYC Metro and L.I. area with winds backing around to the northwest. Several reports of more than a foot have fallen across the Catskill mountain region. Continuing to see southern edge of deform banding affecting this region, so a couple more inches cannot be ruled out. Elsewhere across south Central New York, steadier precip has ended with some wrap-around snow showers continuing to affect the I-81/88 corridor, and up to a another inch is possible across higher terrain in this area. Further north across the I90 corridor from Syracuse to central Mohawk Valley, rain has changed over to all snow and 2-4” is still possible here, especially over the higher terrain. Across the North Country, strong deform banding will yield snow…heavy at times into the overnight hours before tapering off Wednesday morning. Here, 6-12” can still be expected… with highest amounts across the Adirondack mountain region, with lesser amounts closer to Lake Ontario where warmer temps continue to keep rain in the mix. Into VT, NH, and ME…snow showers will continue to affect the area into Wednesday AM, with highest amounts across the northern Green Mtns. of VT where up to 6” could still accumulate by daybreak.

Winds continue to roar across interior NY and New England with additional scattered to widespread power outages likely during the overnight, especially where heavy snow has already fallen.

Lake effect snow showers should become better organized southeast of Lake Ontario by Wednesday morning, continuing through Thursday morning. Amounts should stay below warning criteria in the 2-4" range, with some local 6" amounts possible.
