Another coastal storm May affect Southern New England on Friday

Latest forecasts indicate an intensifying coastal storm will track northeast from the North Carolina coast on Friday, passing about 200 miles south of Nantucket. This scenario would bring accumulating snow to Southern New England on Friday, especially near the coast.

The track of this storm is still uncertain and there is a chance it could pass further out to sea with little impact on Southern New England.

People in Southern New England should continue to monitor the latest forecasts and statements. Stay tuned to NOAA all hazards radio or your favorite media outlet for the latest information.
