Blustery cold, first accumulating snow of the season to fall for Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut communities

Many communities across southern New England could see their first accumulating snowfall of the season this weekend.

According to the National Weather Service, blustery and cold weather persists today…winds will diminish tonight and Saturday although it will remain cold.

A fast-moving low pressure system Saturday night into Sunday will bring the potential for a few inches of snow south of I-90 with likely just a dusting to 1 inch north of this region. The bulk of this snow will fall later Saturday night into Sunday morning…but ocean effect snow showers may persist on the Cape and Nantucket into Sunday evening. Otherwise…a shot of arctic air follows Sunday night into Monday with wind chills dropping to between 5
below and 10 above.

The storm track may still shift north or south…so snow total adjustments are possible.

It remains chilly for Tuesday, but a pattern change with significantly milder temperatures are likely for Wednesday and especially by Thursday when highs may break 50 in spots.
