Snow has begun to fall in much of southern New England at this point. It actually began a little earlier than expected. With the snow came the temperature drop. Temperatures in Boston are right at 32 if not below it which supports all snow this evening. Here are the current details.
- Initial burst of snow will be light to moderately heavy through this evening. Will be all snow for us. Most of the heavier bands of precipitation seem to be focused to the west and south of Boston.
- Somewhat concerned about the lack of snow growth in eastern upstate NY. Will need more moisture to build in for snowfall to continue through the evening. Otherwise we could be looking at a sharp cutoff by tonight for round 1
- Despite temperatures at freezing or below, early snowfall is not heavy enough to stick to roads just yet. Once a heavy band moves in or once the sun goes down, we will see snow start to stick to the roads.
- A reminder that this is a LONG duration event. We are basically going to see 3 separate storms affect us over the next 36 hours. Round 1 should taper off by midnight. But stronger and more moisture laden round 2 will begin in the wee hours of the morning tomorrow. Models have been trending colder. Once this initial storm pulls away, winds should switch to the ENE and keep most of the area north of the Mass Pike in the snow for the duration.
Looks like about 6 inches is likely for Boston. More updates later on tonight!
