Winter Storm Watch Issued for Eastern Massachusetts

As of early Sunday morning we’re expecting the lightest snowfall amounts in far Western and Northern New England.

If the county misses on the snow today, there is a second chance of it mid-week if all the ingredients are right. We will see some stirring of the air with gusts occasionally going over 40 miles per hour, especially along the Shoreline.

The snow will begin to fall in New England on Monday through early Tuesday and will be formed from a strong area of low pressure. Look for partly cloudy skies across the Upstate on Tuesday with highs peaking in the low 40s while mountain towns see lingering snow showers and highs only peaking in the low 30s.

This will not be like Friday’s storm and blossom into a big snowfall for us.

A winter storm was expected dump close a foot (30 cm) of snow on southern New England on Monday, closing schools and government offices, snarling travel and flooding low-lying coastal areas.

High temperatures will be up to 25 degrees below average from the Upper Midwest to Florida Tuesday and Wednesday, with temperatures possibly not reaching the freezing mark as far south as the Tennessee Valley.

This will have some impact as well, bringing more intermittent snow or snow showers, Tuesday into Wednesday with the likelihood of additional accumulations but let’s concentrate on one system at a time. “6-10” of snow, has the landscape finally looking as it should in February and there will be several more snow chances this week and severe cold on the horizon.

The cold coming in for this weekend will be something to behold.

Silverman wanted citizens to be aware of wind chills which are expected to be below 0.

January was warm and dry. “There was 1.96” of precipitation, which includes rainfall plus the water equivalent of snow and ice. A cold northwesterly wind then undercut the rain, producing an inevitable result: it started to snow. However, many parts of the state had much more snow. Their position is that naming a winter storm will simplify and improve their ability to communicate information to their audience, thereby making their warnings and advisories more effective. The first name on the list is Anna, after Anna Harrison.

Cities likely to be most affected are Boston, Worcester and Providence, reported The Weather Channel.
