...A STRONG STORM SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT US THIS AFTERNOON...

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM JUST SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND NEW YORK THIS 
MORNING WILL CONTINUE MOVING NORTH TO COASTAL NEW ENGLAND TONIGHT.

WILL CONTINUE TO SWEEP INTO THE AREA. TEMPERATURES WILL BE FALLING 
TO FREEZING IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN THIS AFTERNOON AND IN THE EVENING

THESE STRONG WINDS WILL CAUSE SOME BLOWING SNOW AND REDUCED
