There’s another winter storm in the offing, with back-to-back lows coming through on Monday and Tuesday. However, just as with the past two storms to hit Southern New England, this one will be mostly a coastal event, with a sharp cut off on the western edge. Forecasters are all but certain that another round of moderate to heavy snow, strong winds and the potential for coastal flooding will be impacting Southeast New England starting tomorrow morning through Tuesday morning. Predictions are for 6-12” of snow from Boston to Providence, with higher amounts across Plymouth County, Cape Cod, and the Islands, where a coastal flood watch is also in effect. At this point, the models are diverging slightly on where that western edge cutoff will be, but the general consensus is for the Hartford/Springfield area and the Connecticut River Valley to get, at most, 2-3 inches of snow. As we are on the northern and western part of that area, we are likely to see the lower end of those snowfall amounts, if any. There’s a chance of snow showers (with minimal accumulation) mid-week into Thursday, and cold air pours in on Friday-Saturday. No bonanza snowstorms for us for at least the next week. Hope you snow lovers got your fill the last two days, as that’s going to have to hold you for now.
