What to expect with weekend snow, rain and wind

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:22:25 GMT

Our snow map is out for this weekend’s winter storm that will bring our first significant snow of the season. Some of the highest expected snow totals through Sunday night will range from 6-12″. Snow begins Saturday night and continues throughout most of the day Sunday. The biggest impact will be travel disruption, especially Sunday morning. The wind will be strongest on the coast. This storm will not bring strong winds like the previous storm in late December. It’s the combination of the heavy wet snow and the gusty wind that could lead to isolated power outages. Coastal flooding is not a concern, as high tides this weekend will still stay below flood stage.A Winter Storm Watch is posted for most areas north and west of I-95. Heavy snow will make travel difficult. Snow loading from heavy wet snow could lead to power outages.Today’s weather setup is helping to set the stage for the snow. A cold front moving across southern New England is opening the door for...
