[High Impact Winter Storm] A major winter storm will bring heavy snow with blizzard conditions and power outages possible. High confidence in 10 to 20 inches of snow across eastern MA/RI, but more uncertainty across western MA/CT dependent on the western extent of heavy snow.

[Saturday Update] Here's a look at the latest thinking regarding Sunday's snow. Bottom line: snow is limited to Cape Cod, the islands, and the south shore of MA. ❄️

Quick update to snow accumulation forecasts Sun-Mon to reflect higher confidence in a period of sleet on the south coast/ Cape & Islands. The rest of the forecast remains on track. Snow starts late Sunday morning/early Sunday afternoon.
