Additional snowfall will be limited to northern stretches of
interior New England through the afternoon, with the heaviest
amounts forecast to fall in the northern third of Maine, where
snowfall totals may reach a foot in localized areas. Lighter
amounts of 1-3" are possible across Upstate New York, New
Hampshire, and Vermont, as precipitation switches to light snow
and sleet behind the frontal boundary passage. Further south,
moderate to heavy rainfall will continue to fall ahead of the cold
front, with conditions beginning to improve from west to east late
this evening as precipitation pushes offshore.

The next Storm Summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction
Center at 900 PM CST. Please refer to your local National Weather
Service office for additional information on this event.
