According to meteorologist Tim Ballisty, "gusty winds will continue over the Northeast, particularly early in the day." He said the impact was likely to be felt at major airports across the region.
"Some snow and coastal rain will linger in Maine early before precipitation comes to an end later Thursday morning," Ballisty added.
NBC New York reported early Thursday that "flood advisories were in effect for most of the tri-state area."
The storm slammed Texas on Tuesday, hit parts of the South on Wednesday before bringing heavy rain and then snow to the Northeast.
In Tennessee on Wednesday, some school systems closed early as the storm left as much as four inches of snow in the western and southern parts of the state.
NBC's Janice Huff has the latest on a big change in the weather coming to the East Coast.
Forecasters Weather Underground reported that "more precipitation is expected in the northeastern corner of the nation on Thursday as the storm system in the Mid-Atlantic lifts northeastward along the New England coast."
"Moisture spreading across the area combined with a cold airmass near the Appalachians will support another shot of heavy snow showers in northeastern Pennsylvania and the Northeast from Wednesday night into Thursday morning," Weather Underground added. "New snow amounts in the mountains are expected to range from 6 to 12 inches, while 3 to 6 inches are expected in the foothills. Snow activity will taper down from west to east by the mid-morning. Near the coast, most of the precipitation associated with this storm will fall in the form of rain."
Weather Underground also predicted "periods of heavy rain" from central Virginia through the coastal areas of New England.
"Behind this activity, cold westerly winds spreading across the northern Great Lakes will kick up lake effect snow downwind of Lake Huron and Lake Superior," it added. "Michigan's Upper Peninsula may experience locally heavy accumulations."

Well it is winter ?
Darned Global Warming's going to freeze everyone.
I still Have relatives in Maine and feel very fortunate to be in LasVegas. No snow
It's winter. This type of weather is going to be common from now until April in New England and the surrounding area. We, thankfully, got mostly rain here. We got a little less than an inch of snow, but that'll all melt by the end of the day today.
Bor-ing! The rest of the world could care less if its just another rainy day in NYC
I guess I'm going to have to move south, seems like it keeps snowing south of us and we don't get hardly any here in NY.
I thought this storm was supposed to "SLAM" the east coast yesterday. You know, because of global warming, more intense weather and all. Looks like the beginning of winter so far. Hope the NE gets over there outages without a hitch.
los angeles just went through a wind storm last week
