This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for southern Connecticut,
northeast New Jersey and southeast New York.

.DAY ONE...Tonight.

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.
