What has changed:
- Winter Storm Warnings Issued for northern Rhode Island into portions of southeast MA approaching the Cape Cod Canal. 4 to 7 inches of snow expected.
- Winter Weather Advisories expanded to include the rest of southern New England for a general 3 to 6 inches of snow.
WHAT:
- A plow-able snowfall is in store for the region.
WHERE:
- All of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut
WHEN:
- Snow is expected to overspread the region from southwest to northeast between 9 pm and 2 am Monday morning.
- The heaviest snow will fall after midnight through about 9 am Monday morning near and especially south of the Massachusetts turnpike.
- Lighter snows will continue later Monday morning and afternoon, but bands of heavier snow will impact central and eastern Massachusetts at times.
POTENTIAL IMPACTS:
- Roads will become snow covered/slippery along with reduced visibility for the Monday morning commute particularly near and especially south of the MA turnpike (although more limited given the Holiday).
- Greatest risk for snow and slippery roads during the Monday afternoon/early evening commute will be across central and eastern MA, where the ending time will be the latest.
UNCERTAINTY:
- High confidence in a general 3 to 7 inches of snow across the region. Greatest risk for higher amounts will be across portions of RI into southeast MA.
- If the low tracks further south amounts will be on the lower end of those numbers, while if it ends up a bit further north snow amounts will be on the higher end.
- Snow amounts on the immediate south coast, Cape and Islands are subject to change by a few inches dependent on how far north the rain/sleet line gets into the region.
