Our forecast remains on track, therefore no changes in headlines or snow amounts are anticipated.  Attached is a loop of an approximate timeline of the heavy snow for the remainder of this afternoon and evening.  The loop begins at 12 noon and ends at 1 am.  The yellow pixels indicate snowfall rates of up to 2.5 inches per hour are likely over RI and Eastern MA, roughly 3 pm to 6 pm.  The shades of green suggest 1-2 inches per hour for the remainder of the afternoon and evening across much of CT, RI and MA. Travel will become extremely difficult during this time.  Snow intensity then diminishes from 7 pm to midnight from south to north.
