A long duration winter storm will bring significant snowfall to much of Southern New England away from the South Coasts of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. There will be periods of light snow Sunday with snow becoming steadier and heavier as we get into later Sunday Night into late Monday Night which will be the main impact timeframe of the storm and affecting both the Monday morning and evening commutes. The headlines of the coordination message depict the storm conditions. This storm is currently expected to have no coastal impacts. Winds with this storm may allow for gusts to 30-40 mph which may create some poor visibilities and some blowing and drifting snow.
SKYWARN Self-Activation will monitor the entire storm duration for snowfall reports and changeover in precipitation type. Another coordination message will be issued by 1000 PM Saturday Evening. Below is the NWS Taunton Winter Storm Watch Statement, Hazardous Weather Outlook and Winter Graphics:
