John Ghiorse: Sunday Night Storm Update

John Ghiorse, Meteorologist

Welcome to spring folks!

We have a winter storm on the way.

Low pressure forming just off the North Carolina coast early this evening will race rapidly past Southern New England by mid-morning tomorrow.

I'm looking for 6"-10" in Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts with 3"-6" to the west into Connecticut and north into the Worcester area. This stuff will be a load to shovel and push around, typical of early spring snows. Even at this late hour there could still be a shift in the track of the storm center that would change the accumulation forecast. I'll have an update later tonight if that occurs.

Heavy, wet snow will over spread the area from south to north later this evening, become heavy at times overnight into the morning rush and will be pretty much out of here by tomorrow afternoon. It looks like the greatest accumulation will be from Rhode Island south and east to the Cape and Islands with lesser amounts through Central and Western Massachusetts and in ski areas up north.
