Mid-Week Snow Set to Hit New England
Posted: February 8 at 6:10 PM |
 Just days after a record breaking blizzard struck the Mid-Atlantic, but largely missed us, more snow is expected with a new coastal storm.
Timing: The snow will begin to fly Wednesday morning, likely during the morning commute. The snowfall will then pick up in intensity by mid-day, and will continue right on through the evening hours. The snow will finally taper off during the pre-dawn hours of Thursday. At this point, it looks like the Wednesday evening commute will be the most impacted.
How Much Snow: This will be a solid moderate snow event for much of Southern New England.
> Eastern Massachusetts: A widespread 6-9" will fall, with some areas in Southeastern Massachusetts picking up close to a foot. Any mixing with rain will be limited to the Islands.
> Central Massachusetts: Expect 3-6" just outside of I-495 or so, as this area will be a bit further away from the center of the storm which will pass just offshore.
> Western Massachusetts: Just a light snowfall of 1-3" expected here.
Winds: Winds across Southeastern Massachusetts will become gusty during Wednesday afternoon as well. Expect gusts between 45-55 MPH.
As usual, stay tuned for future updates!
