Good Morning,

We have attached our latest snowfall and precipitation type forecasts for Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday.

Changes:
  • Winter Storm Watch issued from the east slopes of the Berkshires into northern Worcester County for the possibility of 4 to 8 inches of snow.
Timeline:
  • Snow begins Tuesday afternoon in western New England and reaches the coast early Tuesday evening.
  • Snow may be heavy at times from the Berkshires to northern Worcester County Tuesday night.
  • Snow quickly changes to rain Tuesday night in  Providence and Boston with little accumulation.
  • Snow should mix with, or possibly change to rain as far inland as Hartford, Springfield, Worcester, and Lawrence Tuesday night where a few inches of snow should accumulate.
  • Colder air arrives before daybreak Wednesday morning, resulting in a change back to snow for most of southern New England before ending.
  • Gale force NW winds and light to moderate freezing spray on the MA/RI waters Wednesday through Thursday morning.
Uncertainty:
  • How far inland the rain/snow line gets Tuesday night.
  • We should know more in time for the next update (by 5 PM today)
