Slushy flakes this afternoon ending early eve

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — The storm that brought us the continued light snow this morning is sliding southeastward into the Atlantic. Snowfall amounts ranged from 4 to 5 inches in southeastern Massachusetts — from New Bedford to Attleboro to 6 to 8 inches from Warwick to West Greenwich. There is a connection between the exiting storm and a primary area of low pressure in northern New England.

Snow showers continue through the afternoon with little additional accumulations as temperatures warm into the mid 30s. The slushy flakes may mix with or melt to raindrops, especially at the south coast, Cape Cod, and southeast Massachusetts.

This afternoon along the south coast, snow will mix with raindrops. Snow may be “slushy flakes” as well.

Our next weather makers are a high pressure system for Wednesday returning some sunshine to the ocean state before another storm brings rain our way on Thursday.
