Cape Cod is currently expected to receive 1-2″ of snow but will need to be monitored closely for higher snow amounts especially closest to the Cape Cod Canal. The remainder of the coverage area is expected to receive a dusting to 2″ of snow..
..A Winter Storm Watch is in effect for late Tuesday Night through Wednesday Afternoon for the entire NWS Taunton Coverage Area except for Cape Cod and the Islands for the potential of several inches of snow as well as potential sleet and freezing rain accumulations in southern parts of the Winter Storm Watch area..

An active winter weather pattern is setting up for this week with a storm system for southern parts of the region today and another stronger winter storm system that will affect much of the NWS Taunton coverage area late Tuesday Night into Wednesday.
A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for Northeast Connecticut, Rhode Island except for Block Island and Southern Bristol and Southern Plymouth Counties of Massachusetts from 7 AM-7 PM today for 2-4″ of snow. Isolated higher amounts of snow are possible in the advisory area. While much of the Winter Weather Advisory area is currently above freezing, temperatures will actually fall through the day and any precipitation that starts as rain will changeover to snow. The heavier precipitation area which was expected to stay offshore has trended further north allowing for higher snow accumulations in this area. Over Cape Cod, this changeover may take longer so currently no advisory is in place for this area with snowfall of 1-2″ expected. This will bear watching because if the changeover takes place more quickly, it could result in heavier snowfall over parts of Cape Cod. Outside of the Winter Weather Advisory areas, a Dusting to 2″ of snowfall is expected with the highest amounts closest to the Winter Weather Advisory area.
A Winter Storm Watch is in effect for late Tuesday Night through Wednesday Afternoon for the entire NWS Taunton Coverage Area except for Cape Cod and the Islands. The potential exists for several inches of snow as well as potential sleet and freezing rain accumulations. Currently, most of the mixed precipitation is expected in the southern half of the Winter Storm Watch area. It is a bit early to get into specific snow an ice accumulation amounts but significant snow and/or sleet/freezing rain amounts are possible. Future coordination messages will further detail this storm threat.
SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor the Monday storm with no further updates planned unless a significant upgrade to the situation occurs. SKYWARN Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton are possible late Tuesday Night into Wednesday for the second and more significant winter storm and the next coordination message for that system will be posted by 1100 PM this evening. Below are the NWS Taunton Winter Weather Advisory/Winter Storm Watch Statement, Hazardous Weather Outlook and the NWS Taunton Snowfall Map for the Monday storm system:
