Good morning and Merry Christmas!

Snow is falling early on this Christmas morning and temperatures range from the low 30s in the Clifton area down to the upper 20s further inland, winds now are light.

Low pressure off the coast will rapidly intensify as the storm moves off the New England coast.  Snow associated with this system will end shortly after sunrise and we will have clearing by late this morning.  Winds will become strong later this morning and may gust to near 50 mph, winds will slowly diminish by late in the afternoon.  Accumulations of snow will be around 1 to 2 inches.
