American Model Update

The latest run of the American model now brings the Nor'easter slightly further west, now bringing light snow back into our area this afternoon as it starts to develop near Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. The snow could accumulate to a dusting to an inch this afternoon and tonight across Northern New Jersey, with 1-3 inches possible for the southern half of New Jersey and from New York City east to western Long Island and north into western Connecticut and western Massachusetts.  Then 3-6 inches for central Long Island, central Connecticut, and central Massachusetts, and 6-12 inches for eastern Long Island, eastern Connecticut and eastern Massachusetts with blizzard conditions likely, with more than a foot possible for Rhode Island, and Southeastern Massachusetts from the Boston area through Cape Cod, where up to 18 inches are possible, again with blizzard conditions.
