Areas south of the Interstate 84 corridor have seen mainly rain, with flooding in some spots, especially along the coast, where a widespread 1 inch of rainfall has fallen, according to the National Weather Service.

Wind gusts as strong as 66 miles per hour were reported in coastal Connecticut (in Greenwich at 4 a.m. Saturday) and 62 mph on Long Island (in East Hampton just before 5:30 a.m. Saturday).

Heavy snow continues to fall across the northern portions of the Northeast with a swath of a wintry mix in southern New England. 

Due to the weight of the wet snow, tree branches have snapped resulting in power outages in parts of upstate New York and New England.

Precipitation is expected to wind down from late in the morning to early in the afternoon Saturday.

It will remain mostly cloudy and windy during the afternoon with a high temperature of around 40 degrees.

Skies will become mostly sunny on Sunday, March 5, with a high temperature in the mid-40s.
