Good morning everyone... Attached is a brief one-pager on the expected snow very late tonight into Saturday across western/central Massachusetts as well as portions of northern Connecticut. The snow will arrive between 1 and 5 am Saturday with a possible lull in the activity by mid to late Saturday morning. Another round of snow is expected Saturday afternoon, but the main impacts by then will probably be confined to the high terrain given temperatures rising above freezing in the lower elevations. Total snow accumulations of 1-2" are expected across the lower elevations of western/central MA as well as portions of northern CT with 2-4" of snow possible in the higher terrain of the Berkshires and northern Worcester Hills. A Winter Weather Advisory may be needed for parts of the interior high terrain. Meanwhile...no impacts are expected across eastern MA and RI on Saturday as temperatures will rise well above freezing by the time any precipitation arrives. Also...we continue to monitor the potential for a plowable snowfall to parts of our region Sunday into Sunday night but there remains an unusually large spread in potential outcomes for this time range. A westward track would bring the potential for a plowable snowfall as far west as interior Massachusetts and Connecticut. While an eastern solution would bring little if any snowfall even into the Boston to Providence corridor. *We do think we will have a much better idea on this in the next 12 to 24 hours. * Attached is our brief one-pager and our snowfall graphic for the first event very late tonight into Saturday.
