Snowfall Forecast for Wednesday Night-Friday

Timeline

Winter does not seem to want to go away as another storm is set to impact Western Mass. After days of computer model disagreements, they have finally converged on a northern solution bringing precipitation in the form of rain and snow into Southern New England. Snow should start to break out late Wednesday night from south to north. By Thursday morning, snow becomes steady and we should see snow starting to accumulate. Though given higher March sun angle and marginal temperatures, it will have a harder time accumulating than during the nighttime hours. Even so, every little bit counts and since it's a long duration event, plowable snow is likely. There is the chance snow changes over to rain at times but as temperatures drop heading into Thursday night, rain switches back over to snow. Icing is not a concern. Light snow continues into Friday morning where activity starts to wind down from then on. Snow ends by Friday afternoon.

I'm expecting 2 to 5 inches across Western Mass, higher amounts east and southeast of the region. The Worcester hills should do well where up to a foot is possible. Winds shouldn't be a big deal here but if you go near the coast, gusts could reach as high as 50-60 MPH. Add along to that the flooding issues and there is the potential for beach erosion along coastal communities. Surely not what they want to hear after taking a substantial hit from the blizzard.

Stay tuned for the very latest on my Twitter feed (@SenhW) where I will have live updates throughout the storm. Thanks for reading!
