The wider storm

Low pressure developed across the southeast coast early on January 7, 2017 and deepened as it tracked off the coast. The low tracked south and east of the 40N/70W benchmark. Despite the low tracking this far east, the Tri-State area was located in the right entrance region of a strong upper level jet streak. This allowed for snow to expand well to the northwest of the low bringing heavy snow to Southern Connecticut.
