What:    
  • Snow with accumulations of 6 to 10 inches across much of the region. Snow accumulations of 3 to 5 inches in Franklin and Western Hampshire Counties. Snow accumulations of 3 to 5 inches on Cape Cod, especially the Upper Cape. 
  • Impact to the Monday morning commute.
  • Risk for isolated power outages from northern CT into northwest RI and interior MA if higher snow amounts are realized.
Where:
  • Snow across all of southern New England; heaviest snow most likely over Rhode Island and central/eastern MA. On Cape Cod and the islands snow changes to rain overnight.
