What are we talking about in southern new england first flakes england, first flakes tomorrow. And it will head out quickly heading towards sunday morning. The impact is on saturday and saturday night. Winter storm warnings along the south shore and cape and south coast. Winter weather advisory is to the north. The an reminder we see sometimes a blizzard warning issued for the area. Sustained winds or gust over 35 miles per hour. Into the blizzard. Falling or blowing snow. You dont have to have any snow falling it could be snow on the ground being blown around and visibility a quarter mile or less for three hours. So it doesnt anything to do with the snow total but visibility and wind speeds. Heres the storm tonight getting wrapped up in some of this thats going to transfer system headheading into overnight hours heading into the overnight hours. No reports of region and pen vains yeah. Tonight thickening clouds and teens to 20s for overnight lows a little milder than the last couple nights. Heres big part of the storm heres the big part of the storm wheres band of heaviest snow going . How far north is it going to make it in all indications is it will be on our doorstep tomorrow afternoon and evening. Totals in or south and spare the area or stay where it is the forecast that we are going with right now. Heading towards sunday morning, that band will pivot farther off to the east and the storm moves out to sea heading through sunday. No big issues. Watching the snow moving up towards new york city tonight tomorrow morning flakes break out on the south coast and cape and heading towards med day andwill early afternoon it will run northward running into drier air as it does so thats why we have the lower total north and west of boston. New hampshire probably not seeing flakes. All the focus southeastern parts of massachusetts where we have the highest impact from this one. So snow totals again just a coating to maybe an inch north and west. One to three along the north shore into boston westward along the pike. And 3 to 6 in southeastern massachusetts and we could see isolated totals top a half a foot along the buzzard bay region and south coast if the dan can get farther north. Up as the day goes on. Gusty in the afternoon and evening. We could see isolated power outage with the wet snow consistency. Mainly the outer cape nantucket and thats where you get the heavier snowfall clinging to things and the biggest power outage rich. Farther iland gusty and cold but wont cause damning. And going to sunday inland, gusty and cold but wont cause damage. And going to sunday its moving offshore to the cape and island. High tides maim sunday mornings high tide cycle around lunchtime late morning to early afternoon. We have got high tides becauseof the full moon watching the bay side of the cape nantucket and south shore for the highest risk. Temperature wise we get a wet snow, temps colder inland in the 20s all day lopping. We work in the sunshine on sunday and low 30 tion our high tem 30s our high temps and it will feel better next week. Most of this impact is saturday and nothing left into the end the full accuweather 7day, upper 30s on monday. 40s on tuesday with a couple rain showers and we stay well into the 30s for wednesday and thursday and friday.
