The winter storm across New England will continue today, but will wind down gradually later tonight.

Strong coastal low is expected to strengthen fairly quickly and slow its forward progress on Tuesday. At this point, it is expected to strengthen just offshore of Cape Cod, which will allow for the highest snow totals over Southeastern New England, particularly Eastern Connecticut, Eastern Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. Snowfall has ended across the Philadelphia region just after midnight and only a few additional inches of light snow is possible for the NYC Metro area before midday. Light snow will remain possible for the Hudson Valley of NY, Western CT, and Western MA as the system slowly lifts northeastward and snow wraps around the back of the system allowing for additional light snowfall into early Wednesday morning.

The current predictions for storm total snowfall are as follows:
5 to 10 inches for the Hudson Valley of NY, Western CT and Western MA,
18 to 24 inches for RI, Eastern CT & MA, Southern NH, and Coastal ME
8 to 16 inches for Interior ME.
(Maine snow totals include snow falling until sunrise on Wednesday.)

As the low strengthens, strong winds possibly nearing hurricane force along the coast will likely cause blizzard conditions at times for parts of coastal CT, RI, MA, NH, and ME.
Elsewhere, the scattered rainfall over the Southwest will shift north into the Great Basin, and may bring some light to moderate snowfall from the Wasatch of Utah to Yellowstone and the Tetons.
