Tracking the Storm Current Northeast weather map: Wave of low pressure ripples along a frontal boundary. A dominant area of low pressure is taking shape along a frontal boundary over the Northeast. This area of low pressure will quickly move out to sea by Thursday night. As a result, a wet day with light to moderate rainfall is expected over much of the region on Thursday. However, as colder air works its way into the picture behind the developing area of low pressure, rain will change to snow over portions of the interior as the day continues. Snow will fall into Thursday evening before tapering off in New England.

Look for the heavier snow amounts to be found over the mountains of eastern New York State and the mountains of western Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire. Some very light snow or rain mixed with snow may greet cities such as Hartford and Boston late Thursday, but it shouldn't lead to any problems and we're currently not forecasting accumulating snow. Higher elevations can anticipate 1-3 inches of snow (white shaded areas on map above) with the highest peaks possibly picking up a little more.
