Precipitation...
Complex forecast for Friday into Saturday, with some lingering
uncertainty in the details. Temperatures in the lowest levels of
the atmosphere will marginally support snow, especially during
the daytime hours. Thus, accumulation snowfall across southern
New England will be very elevation-dependent. Expecting a sharp
gradient between where the snowfall accumulates significantly,
versus those that are mainly rain. A small change in temperature
could lead to a large change in snowfall. Will need to monitor
temperatures closely through this event.
At present, confined significant snowfall accumulations at
elevations at or above 1,000 ft. The consistency of the snowfall
for most should be heavy and wet, trending to a drier snowfall
at the highest elevations of southern New England. This may
change with later forecasts, so stay tuned
