Theyll continue to be brisk out of the northwest through the overnight hours. The windchill factors, factoring the winds with the current temperature is making it feel like the low 40s to the mid 20s to the northwest like monticello with a windchill of 26. The area of low pressure that brought us the snowfall last night into early today has pushed off towards the canadian maritimes. Were left with a northwest wind flow, which is picking up moisture off the great lakes. This is kind of picking up some snow and depositing it right over the central portion of new jersey excuse me new york and pennsylvania. Its weakening or dissipating before it gets to the tristate area. Were not expecting any more snow or rain. Well see the clouds across the area clear out and go clear through the overnight hours. Were watching two areas of low the first one is located right around idaho into montana right now. Then we have another one sitting off the west coast here.
