Good Morning!

• The threat of a blizzard initially anticipated for tonight has fizzled out, with the chance of light snow between 3 and 9 a.m. tomorrow now at 30 percent, as a high pressure system over the northeast pushes the storm moving up the coast off our shores. There is a small craft advisory on the water through 4 p.m today. Winds are expected to be 10 to 15 knots, but gusts will be up to 25 knots and seas of 3 to 5 feet are expected on the ocean. The high temperature is expected to be in the low 30s.
