Tonight's Storm: Final Forecast

We are already seeing some changes to the storm currently happening, with some locations seeing snow earlier than expected, the primary low over Kentucky slightly intensifying for a little longer, and the GFS model having trended towards more snow in the area in its latest run. Some other models that were also south, such as the GGEM, also trended slightly further north. Below is my final call for the New York City area:

Longer Range Update:

For the longer range, we have yet another storm that might approach the area during the middle of next week, between Tuesday and Thursday. While its effects are uncertain, models are hinting that this storm might be further north than today's storm, possibly bringing a snowstorm to the area. This is nowhere near final, as the models still have more time for trending, but we need to keep an eye on this time frame as it could produce our next snowfall.
