Good Tuesday Morning

A storm system will continue to impact New England now through Tuesday night, bringing a variety of weather hazards, including:

• Heavy rain: (all area into early Tuesday AM)
• Heavy, wet snow: ( by Tuesday afternoon/evening)
• Strong Winds Tuesday: (especially east coastal Mass/Cape)
• Power Outages: (isolated)
• Coastal impacts–large waves, minor/moderate flooding, beach erosion (eastern MA)

A “Winter Storm Warning Tuesday” has been issued for far Northwest Rhode Island where 4-7″ of snow is possible. 

A “Winter Weather Advisory Tuesday” is in effect for the rest of the area, but excluding Newport County… the potential for 2-4″of snow in the Advisory areas

A “High Wind Warning” has been issued for far eastern MA for gusts 50-65mph.  (Cape, eastern Plymouth, Boston, etc.)  No other wind headlines at this time. 

Strong wind gusts will develop Tuesday. Northeast winds will gust 30-50mph by afternoon and night.

Heavy “wet” snow is expected which will cling to trees and power lines. With strong wind gusts, power outages are possible — again, this risk is mainly for northern Rhode Island.

Here’s the timeline…

Rain falls heavily at times through early Tuesday morning. Rainfall amounts of 1″ to 2.5″ is possible.

The rain will switch to snow, and start accumulating in northwest Rhode Island by mid-Tuesday morning. As the storm pulls away and colder air filters in, all areas will see a changeover to snow by the afternoon and evening, with some accumulations, especially inland Tuesday evening and night.

BY TUESDAY NIGHT: Accumulations of 4-7″ of snow in the forecast for northwest RI, with 2-4″ across the central and western part of the state including northern Bristol County Mass and Taunton, with 1-2″ south and east of Warwick.

Please check back for more updates as these numbers may still need some last-minute adjusting.
