Snow showers associated with the clipper across the Great Lakes and the higher elevations of the northern and central Appalachians will gradually taper off, with leftover lake effect snow showers diminishing by late Saturday night. Farther east, snow will shift to the coastal areas of New England as the coastal storm deepens offshore. Additional light to moderate accumulations are likely, particularly in far eastern Maine. Snow ends by early Sunday morning as the coastal storm rapidly pulls away. This will leave cold and dry weather in its wake with Arctic high pressure building into the region. This will be the last Storm Summary issued by the Weather Prediction Center for this event. Please refer to your local National Weather service office for additional information. Miller $$
