Hazardous weather not expected at this time. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday. A quick moving low pressure system poses a moderate to high potential for a light accumulating snowfall across interior portions of northeastern New Jersey, the Lower Hudson Valley, and Southwestern Connecticut Thursday morning into afternoon. 1 to 2 inches of snowfall is likely in this area. There is a low potential for locally 2 to 4 inches of snow. Hazardous travel conditions are likely Thursday morning into afternoon in this area. Along the coast, including the NYC/NJ metro, light snow Thursday morning will transition to rain from southeast to northwest later Thursday morning into early afternoon, with a low to moderate potential for a light snow accumulation before changeover to rain. A dusting to around an inch of snow is likely before a changeover to rain for the NYC/NJ metro and northwestern Long Island. Hazardous travel conditions are possible in this area, particularly away from the south coasts. Meanwhile, eastern Long Island and southeastern Connecticut may see little to no snow accumulation. Timing and location of heaviest precip, timing of onset of snowfall, and timing of changeover from snow to rain are still a bit uncertain. This makes for an overall low to moderate confidence snowfall forecast at this time. Increasing clarity will likely not be until early Thursday morning as precipitation begins to develop into the region. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is not expected at this time. $$
