EST THURSDAY...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN UPTON HAS ISSUED A WINTER STORM
WARNING FOR SNOW...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM MIDNIGHT TONIGHT TO 6
AM EST THURSDAY. THE WINTER STORM WATCH IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT.

SNOW IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP LATER TONIGHT. THE SNOW MAY BECOME
HEAVY AT TIMES ON WEDNESDAY...BEFORE SLOWLY TAPERING OFF WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 8 TO 13 INCHES ARE EXPECTED. AT THIS
TIME THE HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE NEW YORK CITY
METROPOLITAN AREA AND LONG ISLAND.

AS THE STORM INTENSIFIES...EAST TO NORTHEAST WINDS WILL BECOME
STRONG AND GUSTY DURING THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY...AND THESE WINDS
CONTINUE WEDNESDAY NIGHT. GUSTS OF 35 TO 45 MPH ARE CERTAINLY
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY ACROSS COASTAL SECTIONS. THIS WILL CAUSE
