Discussion:
The storm for Thursday into Friday continues to trend further south. This is mostly due to the low becoming stronger than previously forecast. What this means for our area is less snow than previously indicated. At this time, models are generally showing a coating to 2 inches for our area. With less snow as you go towards NYC, and more towards the east end. After the system passes through the region by mid-day Friday skies should begin to clear and a seasonable weekend is on tap. Looking past this weekend, most models are hinting at a significant warm up. Many are indicating that temperatures may rise into the mid-60’s with a few even showing highs approaching 70 degrees. Based on all these models, Friday is the beginning of the end for the winter of 2016. Spring appears to be coming quick!
