"We still have 24+ hours between us and the precipitation, this storm will have a tricky transfer of energy to a secondary low pressure. The timing of that transfer, how close the secondary low forms to the coast and where it tracks once it does, will all have impacts on the forecast," Hudson Valley Weather said.
