Snow update

 Nothing has changed in Fridays forecast but I did find two more snow total maps so I wanted to post those. 

I will collect more data Thursday morning and post some time before noon

Friday's snow update

Good morning to all my fellow snow lovers out there. You should expect snow to start falling before you wake up Friday morning, That snow will continue for most of the daylight hours. I have read, online, as much as I can about this upcoming storm, but the storm is just developing on the west coast so there is quite a ways to travel still before it gets to Massachusetts. That means that a lot can change.

As of right now these maps show what is expected in terms of total snow fall. I will continue to search online for updates throughout the day and will update later tonight or tomorrow morning if things change.

Friday snow

 The low that is going to produce our storm Friday hasn’t developed yet. That means that making snowfall predictions is a little difficult right now. Once the low forms, everyone will be following the track to see if we get all snow or some rain mixing in. I will post at least once everyday to keep you updated. Here is the first snowfall amount that I found online 

Check in tomorrow for more details. 

A little snow this week

 There are two chances for snow this week, but both days we will only see an inch or two. 

Monday snow will start in the afternoon and continue through the early evening hours. All light precip and not amounting to much in our area but more on the cape. Here are the maps from channels 4 and 5 

Friday there is another chance for an inch or two 

This was posted on weather.com last night but the amounts may be lowered because the storm is staying south. Nantucket may get the bulk of the snow. 

I’ll be back on Wednesday to update the Friday snowfall amounts. 

A little snow for us

 This is the headline from the weather channel

 "Winter Storm Carrie is forecast to bring snow to New England this weekend."

The further North you live the more snow you will get. My area is only expecting a dusting to an inch.

The snow should start late afternoon and continue through the night. If you have shopping to do, get out there now.

Here are a few snow maps that I found online

Change in track.

 We may be catching a break with this storm. The hurricane center has moved the storm track a little to the west so the storm will be making a direct hit to Long Island and Connecticut.  But we will still be feeling some effects.

Be sure to spend time today to prepare. 

• Bring in anything that could cause damage if blown away. 
• Be sure to charge all your electronic devices.
• fill your gas tank in case the gas stations lose power
• have batteries for flashlights and candles ready to be used.
• gas for the generator if you have one.

Henri is coming for a visit

 

Right now #Henri is a tropical storm but by the time it reaches southern New England it may be a category 1 Hurricane. To quote meteorologist Zack Green, "This is a batten down the hatches scenario"  

The current track of this storm has it making landfall in southern Massachusetts, but remember the track can easily change so be sure to watch weather updates.  Now is the time to prepare. 

Power outages are likely so make sure you have all electronic devices charged and maybe some flashlights on hand. Make sure your freezer has plenty of ice made to help keep the food frozen while the power is out. Be prepared for lots of rain, including some flooding.

Most importantly - Everyone stay SAFE!

Hurricane season is here

 Today we are getting lots of rain thanks to Hurricane Fred and Sunday we may be getting a visit from hurricane Henri. I will closely monitor this situation and post more about Henri either later today or tomorrow. Stay tuned.

Tropical Storm Elsa

 

Tropical Storm Elsa is heading our way. The track takes the storm over Narragansett, RI to Plymouth Ma.

Areas to the left of the storm get the heaviest rain while the areas to the right of the storm track get the most wind.

The rain should end by early afternoon on Friday so you may be able to do something outdoors before the day is over.

My daughter and I were going to go out for breakfast but I don't think that will happen as it should be raining heavily at that time.

March Snow

 March usually brings us some snow so even though we had 60 degree temperatures last week, we are getting a couple inches of snow overnight.

Precip will start as rain later tonight and then change to snow in the early morning hours. Here are a few snow total maps that I found.
