Good morning everyone,
The following headlines were issued overnight for accumulating snow this afternoon & early evening, including minor coastal flooding -
- A Winter Storm Warning for Nantucket - 4 to 7 inches of snow likely
- A Winter Weather Advisory for Cape Cod, Marthas Vineyard and Block Island - 2 to 5 inches of snow likely
- A Coastal Flood Advisory for the entire eastern MA coastline, from the NH/MA border to Nantucket - for the late morning into midday high tide cycle. Please see our coastal flood threat display here for additional details
- What we know - accumulating snow will overspread the Islands and Cape Cod this afternoon and early evening. Heaviest snow with hourly rates of up to one inch are likely late this afternoon & early evening. Roads will become snow covered and slippery.
- What we don't know - still some uncertainty on the exact northern extent of the accumulating snow. As of now, that line appears to be located somewhere along the immediate south coast. However, a small shift in storm track will have a large impact on snowfall totals from south to north. Therefore, this forecast may need to be updated later this morning.
