It's a One-Two Punch from Winter

Not even 24 hours after our last winter storm, we are already talking about another one. This system will intensify rapidly in a similar manner to yesterdays storm, but in a much more "traditional" position for a nor'easter.

Boston and much of the south eastern portion of Massachusetts were spared of a significant snowfall yesterday. But mother nature doesn't want us to be left out of the fun too. This storm will be close to an exclusive snow event for the exact same areas that got rain yesterday. Call it karma I guess.

Deja vu? Similar storm set up to yesterday,but with a much better position for NE snow

The details:

-Snow starts in Boston between 4-7 PM, earlier along the south shore and Cape Cod.

-Snow will once again become heavy overnight on Saturday into Sunday morning. Winds really pick up out of the North as the storm right off the coast of Cape Cod. The Cape and the Islands will experience a full fledged blizzard, with heavy snow and winds gusting over 40 mph. Areas of the North Shore and Cape Ann likely to experience blizzard conditions as well.

-No participation type questions with this track. Models quickly came into agreement with an offshore track, favoring an all snow event.

- Tight precipitation gradient, with at least 0.5 inches of liquid for Boston and over an inch of liquid for the Cape but much less west of 495. With this storm remaining all snow, that would result in at least 5 inches for Boston and 10 for the Cape.

-Really going to have to keep an eye on how quickly this storm bombs out. If it happens as some models suggest, some extraordinary snowfall amounts could pile up along the coast.

The latest snowfall forecast from the NWS. I think some of the totals near Plymouth and out on Cape Cod are underdone. I think some of these spots, specifically on the Cape, will see over a foot of snow.
