..A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from 10 PM Tonight through 7 AM Wednesday for Southeast Providence, Eastern Kent, Washington and Newport Counties of Rhode Island and for Eastern Massachusetts including Cape Cod and the Islands but excluding Middlesex County Massachusetts, for 2-5″ of snow. Isolated higher amounts could occur particularly in Southeast New England if a stronger snow band sets up somewhere in this area if its not too far offshore. The snow should end near or just before the morning commute but untreated roads for the morning commute will be snow covered and you will need to leave time for clearing of walkways and vehicles prior to work where needed..

..SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor for snowfall reports early to mid Wednesday Morning.
