It now appears that the heaviest snow will be from Boston and points south, as the storm has shifted south slightly. To the north of Boston amounts will drop off dramatically. I expect the snow to start between 9 and 930 AM in Boston, and get heavy by early afternoon. Once the snow starts falling the temps will start dropping. However, the city streets may just be wet for a time.
Alerts:
A Winter Storm Warning in effect for all of eastern Mass. except for the north shore.
A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for north of Worcester and the north shore.
A High Wind Warning is in effect for the Cape and Islands for gusts to 60 MPH!
A Hurricane Wind Warning is in effect for the open waters as winds will be over 75 MPH!
