WEATHER UPDATE: Central MA Could See 6-12 Inches of Snow
Tuesday, March 05, 2013
It looks like a typical March mess with some spots getting heavy, wet snow, some seeing snow and rain mixed and others, especially on Cape Cod, heavy wind-driven rain. Everyone should experience strong, gusty winds with attendant power outage potential. Coastal areas should watch out for flooding, heavy surf and, of course, beach erosion.
Details, as usual, are hard to pinpoint right now but heavy, wet snow is likely from the Worcester area south and east toward Boston and Providence. Accumulations could be in the 6”-12” range. Lesser amounts should accumulate over extreme southeastern Massachusetts and Southern Rhode Island as rain and sleet get into the mix. Any shift of the storm track farther south and east would pull the heavy snow line in that direction as well. Likewise a track closer to the coast would push the rain/sleet mix north and west. Northeast winds will howl 25-50mph with higher gusts.
