Generally, 1-2 inches of snowfall is now being predicted for areas south of I-287 and the Merritt Parkway in New York and Connecticut, including New York City and Long Island, Westchester and Fairfield counties, according to the National Weather Service. Parts of Suffolk, Northern Westchester and Northern Fairfield County could see 2 to 3 inches. (See first image above.)

In Putnam, Rockland and Orange counties, initial projections of 3 inches of snowfall have been updated to 1-2 inches in Rockland and Orange and 2-3 inches in Putnam. 

North of I-84, 1 to 2 inches is expected in Dutchess, an inch or so in Ulster and Sullivan counties and 3 to 4 inches in Litchfield County, Connecticut. (See second image above.)

Thursday, Dec. 12 will be sunny and even colder with a high temperature in the low 30s.
