...POTENTIAL FOR WINTRY WEATHER EARLY NEXT WEEK...
THE FIRST FULL WEEK OF DECEMBER COULD FEATURE TWO SNOWFALLS IN SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...ONE ON SUNDAY AND A POTENTIALLY MORE SIGNIFICANT STORM MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY.
THE FIRST SYSTEM SUNDAY IS EXPECTED TO BE FAST MOVING...BUT COULD BRING A LIGHT SNOWFALL OF 1 TO 3 INCHES AS IT PASSES SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND...WITH THE HIGHER AMOUNTS ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE MASS TURNPIKE. SNOW IS FORECAST TO BEGIN TOWARD DAYBREAK SUNDAY IN THE CONNECTICUT VALLEY AND BY MID MORNING ALONG THE EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS COAST...THEN SHOULD TAPER OFF SUNDAY AFTERNOON FROM WEST TO EAST.
A SECOND AND POTENTIALLY MORE SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM COULD IMPACT SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY WITH SNOW AND STRONG WINDS...AS IT TRACKS SOUTHEAST OF NEW ENGLAND. THERE IS STILL A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY AS TO HOW CLOSE THIS STORM WILL PASS...INCLUDING THE POSSIBILITY THAT IT WILL TRACK FAR ENOUGH AWAY FROM NEW ENGLAND TO NOT HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE REGION.
RIGHT NOW...THE MOST LIKELY SCENARIO CALLS FOR THE STORM TO TRACK ABOUT 125 MILES SOUTHEAST OF NANTUCKET TUESDAY MORNING. THIS WOULD BRING ACCUMULATING SNOW TO ALL OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...WITH THE POTENTIALLY HIGHEST AMOUNTS NEAR THE INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR.
PEOPLE IN SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO THE LATEST FORECASTS OVER THE WEEKEND.
