Not many large updates needed. Storm behaving as forecast thus far however moving in a bit faster than expected. Precip should move in by midnight. A few reports of wet snow mixing with rain out near Hershey in the past 30 minutes. Remember, this system is a quick mover so no extraordinary snowfall totals should be expected. Also, temps at this hour are around 45 degrees in the immediate area, a bit higher than progged. The higher temps than progged + quick movement = low snowfall totals. Here's the low down: Rain arriving around midnight. Rain will mix with and change to snow by daybreak or just shortly after. Up to an inch of slushy accumulation is possible on grassy surfaces. Some areas nearby just N & W of the city may see up to 3" maxes in an isolated location or two, but the "winner", if you will, should be somewhere near New York City or Southern New England this go around. Skies clear out later in the day with breezy conditions and temperatures not getting out of the 30s for highs. Thanksgiving will be mostly sunny early on with clouds easing in later in the day. Highs again in the mid 30s. Another chance (outside chance right now) of more flakes on Friday. Does not look like a big deal at the moment.
