A large storm that brought wintry weather to much of the country earlier this week is expected to bring heavy snow to the Northeast over the weekend, weather forecasters have warned.
While the South recovers from more than a dozen tornadoes that resulted in the loss of electricity and claimed the lives of three people in Louisiana this week, the Northeast can expect nearly a foot of snow starting Friday.“Very heavy snowfall rates reaching 1 to 2 inches/hour will be likely across areas of interior New York and central New England,” the Weather Prediction Center at the National Weather Service said Thursday.
“We urge everyone in the impacted regions to avoid unnecessary travel tonight and tomorrow,” Hochul said Thursday. “Work from home if possible, stay off the roads, and make sure you and your loved ones remain vigilant.” "Snow totals so far are low in parts of eastern New York, but colder air is expected as the day progresses. Rain will change to snow, making for tough travel later this afternoon and tonight," Hochul said Friday. "New Yorkers should remain alert and monitor the forecast throughout the day today, especially in the North Country and areas along Lakes Erie and Ontario."
