Expect up to six inches of snow to fall across the region late Wednesday night into Thursday, the National Weather Service said in a statement issued this morning.
“There is the potential for a winter storm late Wednesday night into Thursday. A plowable snow is expected. Significant snow accumulation of up to 6 inches is likely across Suffolk County and much of southern Connecticut,” the weather service said in a hazardous weather outlook statement.
National Weather Service forecasters are watching the anticipated development of a low forecast to develop southwest of the region which is expected to pass off the Mid-Atlantic coast and track toward or just south of the 40N/70W benchmark.
The snow is expected to be preceded by rain Wednesday night, transiting to snow as colder air moves in north of the developing low, according to the NWS forecast discussion.
An overall snowfall of at least four to six inches appears likely, the weather service said, with the highest amounts over central and eastern Long Island and southern Connecticut, according to the forecast.
