Slight Shift

The latest model runs suggest a grazing of the major ocean storm on Saturday. At this point the heavy snow will remain just to our south, especially in the mid-Atlantic. Up to 2 feet are expected there, and that includes the cities of DC, Baltimore and Philly. Even NYC will pickup a foot or more of snow. If the storm tracks further north we may get a sizable snowstorm, but I don't expect 2 feet in Southern New England. At this point I expect 2-4 inches for Boston points west along the Pike, and 4-8 south of a line from Providence to Plymouth.


Boston, MA forecast:

Tonight: Cloudy early, then clearing. Lows near 24 Downtown, 21 in JP and teens in the Suburbs.

Thursday: Bright and sunny, but breezy. High 29. NW wind of 10-20 MPH with gusts to 30 MPH.

Thursday night: Clear, lows in the teens.

Friday: Sunny in the morning, then increasing clouds in the afternoon. Highs around 30.

Saturday: Some snow does seem likely throughout the day in Boston and points south. Highs around 30. Stay tuned on this one.

Sunday: Clearing and breezy. Highs in the mid 20's.

Extended: Another nor'easter will threaten the area on Tuesday, at this point it is another close call.
