STORM MODE: Morning Updates

Our storm is just starting to get going as light snow has broken out across New York. However, all this snow is well ahead of the storm center, which is back over Southern Indiana. It is to the north of this storm center that the heaviest snow is now. This will move over us later this evening and overnight with very heavy snow. As the storm tracks to our east and continues to strengthens, the winds will increase and the temperatures will drop like a rock, only adding to the heavy snow to make this a very dangerous storm. Here is a detailed forecast and radar loop:
