Good morning everyone... Winter Weather Advisories have been expanded to all southern New England (except Nantucket) and snowfall amounts have been increased. Total snow accumulations of 2-5" are expected for western MA and CT with 3 to 6" across eastern MA/RI with localized 7" amounts possible. Rain mixed with the snow at times may cut down on totals across portions of Cape Cod and especially Nantucket where much of this may fall as rain. Periods of mainly light snow develop this morning and continue at times this afternoon...but a lull in the activity is possible especially north of I-90. The steadiest/heaviest of the snow is expected late this afternoon and especially tonight. Snowfall rates of 1"+ per hour are possible in the 5 pm to 1 am time frame...particularly across eastern MA/RI. While the steady snow will be over by daybreak Monday...some snow showers may linger into the Monday morning commute especially across eastern MA. The biggest uncertainty with this forecast revolves around whether or not we see a heavier swath of 5-7" of snow and where exactly that sets up. Right now we would favor eastern MA/RI as the best chance for that to occur. We have included an updated one-pager along with our snowfall graphic/timeline. In addition...we also have included a probability table for specific locations in our region to see snowfall rates approach 1" per hour. This is just meant to give an idea of when the heaviest snowfall rates/impacts will occur and you can see how this indicates from 5 pm through 1 am Monday. Lastly...there is a lot of black ice out there this morning so that may be an issue for folks trying to get out before the snow actually starts! Thank You!
