(NEW YORK) — A major winter snowstorm is hitting the northeastern United States on Tuesday and could wreak havoc on roadways from New York City to Boston.<\/p>\n

The fast-moving storm is expected to last only from Tuesday morning to Tuesday afternoon, but it could bring up to 1 foot of snow to parts of the Northeast.<\/p>\n

Here’s how the news is developing:<\/em><\/p>\n

Feb 13, 12:04 PM
\nMore than 139,000 power outages in Pennsylvania<\/strong><\/p>\n

More than 139,000 customers are without power in Pennsylvania amid the fast-moving snowstorm.<\/p>\n

In Philadelphia, public schools opened on a two-hour delay.<\/p>\n

Feb 13, 12:00 PM
\n1,500 flights canceled<\/strong><\/p>\n

More than 1,500 flights have been canceled Tuesday, with airports in New York City and Boston hit the hardest.<\/p>\n

\nOver 1,400 flights canceled<\/strong><\/p>\n

More than 1,400 flights have been canceled Tuesday, with airports in New York City and Boston hit the hardest.<\/p>\n

Feb 13, 8:18 AM
\nSnow totals so far<\/strong><\/p>\n

The storm is hitting fast, with some in the Northeast waking up to massive snowfalls.<\/p>\n

Jim Thorpe in eastern Pennsylvania has recorded 10.5 inches of snow so far, while Port Jervis, by the New York-New Jersey border, has seen 8.5 inches.<\/p>\n

Feb 13, 8:07 AM
\n‘Avoid travel if possible’<\/strong><\/p>\n

The wet, heavy snow slamming the Northeast is bringing dangerous conditions to the roads.<\/p>\n

Snowfall rates have reached 1 to 2 inches per hour Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

“Use extra caution or simply avoid travel if possible this morning,” the National Weather Service in New York advised.<\/p>\n

Feb 13, 7:12 AM
\nOver 1,000 flights canceled<\/strong><\/p>\n

More than 1,000 flights have been canceled Tuesday, with airports in New York City and Boston hit the hardest.<\/p>\n

Feb 13, 5:52 AM
\n50 million Americans on alert for heavy snow<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some 50 million Americans are on alert for heavy snow in the northeastern United States on Tuesday, as a storm is forecast to hit the region in the morning hours before exiting by the afternoon.<\/p>\n

It’s the first time in two years that the National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for New York City.<\/p>\n

Rain began changing to snow early Tuesday and much of New York City was already under snow by 5 a.m. ET. The freezing line hadn’t quite made it to Philadelphia at that time but was expected to soon.<\/p>\n

Since this is a wet snow falling into temperatures that are generally at or above freezing, the initial accumulation on the ground will melt before it starts to stick.<\/p>\n

Snowfall rates are expected to be moderate, from 1 to 2 inches per hour, with heavier bands mixed in at times.<\/p>\n

Winds are forecast to gust 20 to 40 miles per hour, blowing the snow and reducing visibility. However, due to the wet nature of the snow, blizzard-like conditions were generally not expected and should only be short-lived if they occur at all.<\/p>\n

Coastal flooding was also expected to be an issue from Washington, D.C., to Delaware to New Jersey and Long Island and then from Cape Cod to Boston and Portland.<\/p>\n

Feb 13, 4:00 AM
\nNew York City, Boston close schools<\/strong><\/p>\n

New York City’s public schools, the largest system in the country, will be closed Tuesday, with classes moving to remote learning, Mayor Eric Adams announced.<\/p>\n

This marks the first time in two years that New York City has been under a winter storm watch.<\/p>\n

Boston Public Schools will also be closed Tuesday.<\/p>\n
