Storm Update

Good morning! Things are on track for a heavy storm throughout New England today, that will bring widespread rain for most and some abundant snowfall for some. 

Here is a current look at radar from the National Weather Service (NWS). Notice the heavy band of precipitation that extends from southwest CT to northwest Massachusetts.



Right now we're looking at all rain in southern New England, but that changeover will happen soon, as temperatures drop.

This storm will be extremely elevation dependent, with some hill towns in Connecticut seeing up to a foot of snow, while valley locations and locations near the shoreline that will see a later changeover to snow may see little to now snow. This will be a heavy, wet snow, and conditions will be windy, so expect some possible power outages. Here is what the NWS Northeast Region is thinking for total snow:


Notice the abundance of snow east of the Connecticut river, while areas west will not see nearly as much. This will be an exciting storm!
