Good morning everyone... This is just a heads up email on the potential for accumulating snow later Saturday night into Sunday. Preliminary snowfall forecast indicates the potential for 1-2" south of I-90 with perhaps a localized swath of 3-4" near the south coast. Current indications are for only a dusting to 1" of snow north of I-90. The bulk of the accumulating snow should end by Sunday afternoon...except towards the Cape and Islands where snow may linger into Sunday afternoon and evening. There remains uncertainty on the northern extent of the main snow shield. If this were to shift further north than expected...the potential for 1-2" would extend into northern MA with 3-5" south of I-90. A shift further south than expected would result in little if any snow north of I-90 and only a coating to 1" south of I-90. We have attached a brief one-pager along with a graphic of our preliminary snowfall forecast. The main idea right now is that areas south of I-90 and especially near the south coast stand the greatest chance for a few inches of snow. Temperatures below freezing will result in untreated roads likely becoming snow covered and slippery very late Saturday night into Sunday morning. We will have an update forecast out by late this afternoon. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns! Thank You!
