GFS caves to other models. Now focus turns to late next week as Euro has snow for Long Island:

- The GFS now keeps the snow from the Monday morning storm south of Long Island like the other models. There will be some snow though for the mid-Atlantic as it heads out to sea moving ENE.

- The story for Sunday night into Tuesday morning will be the really cold air, but then attention turns to the late-week storm (see 2nd to 5th images). The Euro has a snowstorm for Long Island, and it does have support from some of its ensemble members, but the odds favor mostly rain for Long Island with a snowstorm for inland areas of the northeast.
