Good morning everyone,

The probability for accumulating snow continues to increase for tonight into Monday. Here are the details including graphics regarding snowfall projections (Most Likely, Low end & High end amounts including start times), headlines and a model simulated radar loop beginning 10 pm tonight thru 7 am Monday.  

What has changed:
- Winter Storm Watches have been issued for the potential for 6+ inches of snow across southeast Massachusetts and all of Rhode Island

- Winter Weather Advisories have been issued for expected snowfall of 2-4" for much of MA along and south of the Turnpike including the Greater Boston area and all of northern CT

WHAT: 
- Plow-able snowfall expected

WHERE: 
- All of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut

WHEN: 
- Snow is expected to overspread the region from southwest to northeast  between 9 pm tonight and 1 am Monday 
- The steadiest and heaviest snow will fall after midnight into Monday morning.
- The focus for accumulating snow will likely shift to eastern MA by Monday afternoon.  Snow should wind down from west to east later Monday afternoon into early evening.

POTENTIAL IMPACTS:

- Roads will become snow covered/slippery along with reduced visibility for the Monday morning commute (although more limited given the Holiday). Highest snow totals will likely occur across southeast MA into RI where a Winter Storm Watch is posted.
- Greatest risk for snow and slippery roads during the Monday afternoon/early evening commute will be across eastern MA, where the ending time will be the latest.

UNCERTAINTY:

- Latest forecast trends is for the risk for a moderate snowfall farther north now into RI and southeast MA with 4 to 7 inches possible.  These amounts may shift depending on the exact track of the low pressure system.
- A track farther south would translate to less snowfall while a a track farther north would mean more snow north and west.
