The ridge of high pressure will break down, allowing for a storm to skirt the area from the southeastern United States. This storm will brush southern New England with snow, mixed in with rain during the onset between Saturday afternoon and late Saturday evening-early Sunday morning. Uncertainty still relies on the storm track. As of now, its looking like a snow-rain mix during the start and changing over to all snow during the tail end of the event.
The good news is that the storm will move out of the region quickly, allowing for a ridge of high pressure to build in for the day Sunday.
Weekend Storm Outlook: The timing of the possible storm is looking to start after 12 noon and ending before 2 A.M. With mild temperatures expected ahead of the storm, a mix of rain and snow is possible during the start of the event. As the storm intensifies and moves farther to the north and east, it will drag in colder air on the back side. Any leftover precipitation will fall as snow. As of now, the area could see a light snowfall from this event, with some mixing of wintry mix and rain.
Note: Any change in the storm track will alter the impacts on the region. Any track farther out to sea will result in little to no precipitation. Any change in the track inland will result in a greater impact and heavier precipitation. Stay tuned as I will keep you updated with this potential storm.
