A Mix

A large and powerful coastal storm will back towards New England on Monday providing the area with a windswept wintry mix and then rainstorm. Some wet snow will mix in first thing in the morning, before changing to all rain. No snow accumulation is expected in Boston. Winds may gust to 40-50 MPH along the coast, including the city through the morning. The rain will last through Tuesday morning, although it won't be pouring the whole time. On Wednesday the remains of Tomas will come close to New England, and it may give us another rain event as it combines with a low offshore. Warm air will try to come into New England at the end of the week, but it will have a hard time reaching the coast.

Alerts:

A Wind Advisory is in effect for the coast, including Boston until 11 AM Monday.

A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect for splash over at high tide Monday

A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for northern and western New England, including here at Plymouth, NH.
