Hello everyone!

Today will feature an extra tricky forecast as a Norlun trough sets up. Bust potential is extraordinarily high here. As with all Norlun trough events, one town may get buried while the next town over may see flurries. Which towns those will end up being are still unknown though we can narrow it down a little bit from last night.

The trough has already set up somewhat offshore and to our south with snow extending from Providence northeastward. Radar shows snow moving ever so slightly westward however westward motion of the trough as a whole will be pretty limited today so while flakes could start falling as early as this morning, steady and heavy snow should hold off until the evening.

Here is my updated snow map. Really tricky forecast. I think the low end for the jackpot zones is 4-8″ but where the heaviest bands set up 12″+ is a distinct possibility.

More snow is in the forecast for the weekend. As for the coastal rain threat you may have heard about regarding this storm, I’m going to need a lot more model support before I buy into the idea that above freezing air makes it very far with a nearly 3 foot snowpack. More details later.
