The ‘four’easter that is set to hit Massachusetts on Wednesday 8AM, will bring heavy snow all day to eastern Massachusetts and moderate sustained winds on the cape, at around 24 mph both days.
The storm is expected to bring the most snow from Willimantic, CT to Worcester, MA with totals ranging from 10 to 14 inches in that band. Stretching from Newburyport, MA in the north, and Plymouth to the south, all the way out to Windsor Locks will total up to a foot, with isolated amounts higher, anything southeast or northwest will have minimal snowfall, totaling up to 8 inches in the west, and up to 6 on the cape and islands. Localized amounts in Wayland will total 11-13 inches.
Although there is no storm forming over the ocean at the present, the storm passing to the south, dumping about 5 inches in the Appalachians, and after it moves offshore tonight, it will pass it’s strength onto winter storm Toby, now a developing low pressure system over the mid-atlantic. And sending it north. The storm will dump rain and sleet on the mid-atlantic corridor, up to new york, where it will change over to snow. The storm will be held over new England by the high-latitude blocking over greenland until 8AM Thursday, when the storm will push north and to the west, over Nova Scotia. Thanks for reading another edition of WMS Weather Watchers, and we hope for a snow day!
