Stormy Thursday Ahead!

And so it begins! The first flakes are falling across southern New England, and it’s just the start of a busy weather day across the region. This storm will continue to bring snow showers through the late morning, with most people in Rhode Island and Bristol County, MA totaling 1-2″ of snow in that time. The South Coast and South County, however, will likely see an inch at most. Then, in the late morning, our snow transitions to a wintry mix which could bring sleet and some freezing rain (especially to northern Providence County and northern Bristol County, MA), as well as some plain old rain as well. This will result in a lot of winter “mush” for us by the afternoon. Even with that, there could be plenty of slick spots out on the roads, so be careful if you have to get behind the wheel!

This storm is out of our hair by mid-afternoon, but we’ll stay cloudy and in the 30s.

Friday brings a mix of clouds and sun, and temperatures in the upper 30s. We’ll also be quite windy, with gusts getting up to 40 mph.

Saturday is calmer and starts out sunny. Temperatures end up in the mid 30s. Clouds increase in the afternoon, and our next storm looks to arrive on Saturday night. While there’s a lot about this storm that’s still up in the air, it currently looks like it’ll hang with us through Sunday afternoon, and has the potential to bring more snow than the storm we’re tracking today (Thursday). We’ll continue to keep you updated throughout the week!
