...SNOW SQUALLS WITH ISOLATED THUNDER MOVING ACROSS THE REGION...

AT 1:55 PM, NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR ALONG WITH
SURFACE REPORTS WERE TRACKING SNOW SQUALLS. THESE SQUALLS ARE
ROTATING AROUND THE WESTERN SIDE OF A STORM SYSTEM THAT IS LOCATED
JUST SOUTH OF WESTERN LONG ISLAND.

THE CONDITIONS WITHIN THESE SQUALLS WILL RAPIDLY CHANGE WITH
A BURST OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW EXPECTED WITH UP TO AN INCH OF
ACCUMULATION ALONG WITH GUSTY WINDS. THE VISIBILITIES WILL
QUICKLY BE REDUCED TO NEAR ONE QUARTER OF A MILE WITHIN THE
INDIVIDUAL SQUALLS. THE GUSTY WESTERLY WINDS WILL ALSO PRODUCE
AREAS OF BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW ESPECIALLY IN OPEN AREAS. IN
ADDITION, ISOLATED THUNDER AND LIGHTNING CAN OCCUR WITH SOME OF
THE MORE INTENSE SNOW SQUALLS.

IF TRAVELING THIS AFTERNOON, BE PREPARED FOR RAPIDLY CHANGING
WEATHER AND ROAD CONDITIONS IN AND AROUND THESE SNOW SQUALLS.
