Daily Stock Market Updates

Winter Storm Stella is hammering the Northeast with heavy snow, intensifying winds, even some accumulating ice, which will lead to major travel disruption.

• A large swath of the Northeast will see snowfall, heavy at times, from Stella during the daytime hours.
• Snowfall rates of 1 to 4 inches per hour are possible near and northwest of the Interstate 95 corridor.
• Blizzard or near-blizzard conditions are possible not just in coastal areas, but also in parts of eastern Pennsylvania, eastern New York state, Connecticut and western Massachusetts.
• Road and airport travel are likely to be snarled across the region. Some roads may become impassable.
• Strong winds (gusts over 40 or 50 mph) and the weight of the snow could cause some tree damage and power outages.

• Snow, heavy at times, will continue throughout much of New England Tuesday night.
• Farther south, snow will become lighter overall, but gusty winds will continue and contribute to blowing snow.
• On Wednesday, lighter snowfall and gusty winds will continue across the Northeast region, but the worst of the storm will be over.
• However, lake-enhanced snowfall will continue in much of upstate New York, adding another several inches of snowfall on top of Tuesday’s snowpack.
• Cold temperatures will continue through Thursday after Stella departs, making for icy conditions on untreated roads and other surfaces.

• A foot or more of additional snow is expected from parts of northern Pennsylvania and far northern New Jersey to central and Upstate New York, western and northern New England. Some locations will likely pick up over 2 feet of snow.
• Snowfall rates of 1 to 4 inches per hour are possible during the height of the storm in the most intense bands.
• There will be a very tight gradient in overall snow totals right along Interstate 95 from south of Boston to Maryland.
• Areas closer to the coast may see very little additional snowfall.
• Blizzard or near-blizzard conditions, with wind gusts to 50 mph, may occur through Tuesday in the blizzard warning area.
• Poor travel conditions will also exist in other parts of the Northeast due to gusty winds causing blowing snow and low visibility.
• Wind gusts over 50 mph are possible from the Jersey Shore early Thursday to Long Island and coastal New England as Tuesday wears on.
• These areas are where wind damage (power outages, trees downed) are most possible. The combination of heavy snow, some ice accumulation, and strong winds may also trigger outages and tree damage in other parts of the Northeast.
