Nor'easter Forecast

Clouds will continue to gather and the wind will increase during the day on Wednesday ahead of our next storm. A few rain or snow showers are possible during the afternoon, but the main event will wait to the overnight hours. Precip will fall heavily during the day on Thursday along with a gusty wind. Snowfall totals are very tricky because the rain/snow line will set up very close to Boston and the ground is relatively warm. However. heavier snow should be able to stick as temps drop.
