We’ll be on First Alert during our next snow storm which promises to bring plowable snow north, wind gusts and plenty of rain south. Most of New England is expecting to get its share of snow, but not all will watch the snow in the morning. The flurries begin in northwestern New England. Vermont will see the precipitation start early in the morning and as we advance the time stamp to midday, the snow line pushes into the Berkshires and finishes to cover Vermont, where it begins to stretch into central/southern New Hampshire and Maine. By 4 p.m. the snow will already be over most of Massachusetts, Boston is expecting the snow around 4 to 6 p.m. as temperatures drop. While the snowline will reach the southern states as well, the snowfall amounts will be limited here considering that the system will lose its moisture and begin to push out of the area. We’re likely watching the snow leaving by 12 a.m. for much of New England except the north and northeast that may still watch some snow at 4 a.m.
How much snow will New England get?
All of this will allow for the highest snowfall amounts to remain north: we’ll see 8-12 inches in the highest mountains of New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine. While central New England will range between 4-6” with higher amounts in the Berkshires, we could end up with 8” there in the west. Worcester and surrounding communities may also watch for over 4" but the southern states are likely waking up to a coating to 3."
Heavy, wet snow and strong winds could cause power outages
