Weather Alert: Snow, power outages, difficult travel (Boston 25 News)

We are on a WEATHER ALERT for a nor'easter arriving tonight and lingering until early Wednesday morning. There will be heavy rain, heavy snow, and strong wind.

The best chance for accumulation on the South Shore, South Coast and Cape will happen Tuesday night. Snow will gradually spread towards eastern MA as the day goes on, with the most likely accumulation in the afternoon and night. Precipitation will intensify overnight and become a heavy snow at elevations and heavy rain elsewhere after midnight through the Tuesday morning commute.

It’s back to sunshine for Thursday with temperatures into the 40s and significant melting of whatever snow is on the ground. I expect the biggest impact from the snow to be Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday morning. If there’s a change earlier, the gradient on this map will be pushed east. The map below shows a change to snow on Tuesday from west to east. This also means that colder air will be able to work into the system while precipitation is still falling. The storm will intensify off the Southern New England coast Monday night and slowly meander out to sea by Wednesday.

Winter storm warnings are in place for southern parts of ski country, while storm watches are in effect farther north. Travel could be difficult to impossible in much of southern New England, with hazardous conditions expected to impact the morning and evening commutes on Tuesday. Boston, Lawrence, and Plymouth are expected to get about 3 inches. Between 1 and 6 inches of snow is expected in Boston. It is expected to last into Wednesday morning, with power outages and pockets of moderate coastal flooding possible. Power outages, strong wind gusts, and minor coastal flooding are possible. Wind gusts could reach 55 m.p.h. A winter storm watch is in effect Tuesday evening for portions of Eastern Massachusetts. Strong winds will develop late Tuesday morning and into the night. But there’s a slim chance communities could see far higher totals. Forecasters now anticipate the city could see about 3 inches of snow, after predicting earlier that nearly 7 inches could fall. Beach erosion and dangerous maritime conditions are also likely.

Nor'easter Update (Boston News, Weather, Sports | WHDH 7News)

Light rain has started to fall across New England. This rain is the leading edge of our storm but for now the precipitation is light.

That said, this does not account for an incredibly rough surf that we’ll see and likely splash over for much of the day. For those of us on the coast that see and feel the coastal flood impacts, this is a good update. This rain is the leading edge of our storm but for now the precipitation is light.

First nor'easter of the season set to hit the Northeast and New England (CNN)

A nor'easter is a coastal storm with winds out of the northeast. Nor'easters are notorious for bringing huge impacts such as heavy rain, snow, strong winds, ...

According to Field, New Englanders knew better than to count on the season finishing without a nor’easter. Some areas are going to have a lot and other areas will only get four or five inches,” noted Glen Field, warning coordination meteorologist at the weather service office in Boston. Further inland, winds will top 50-55 mph, adding to the threat of falling tree limbs and power outages. Also, four-foot waves will break along the shoreline, leading to beach erosion. Along with rain, snow, gusty winds and possible power outages, another big concern along the coast will be coastal flooding and beach erosion. It’s known as ‘snow loading’ and has to do with the heavy, wet type of snow we are expecting.” “Similar impacts could be felt along the I-95 corridor from New York City to Boston.” Heavy, wet snow could fall at 2-3 inches per hour, resulting in up to a foot of snow in the higher elevations of the Northeast. We are already into meteorological spring as of March 1, which means we did not see a single nor’easter in the winter months, and hardly any snow for some of the East Coast’s big cities. Heavy rain and windy conditions will be the opening act, before the storm peaks tonight through Tuesday evening. Localized snow totals of 24 to 30 inches are possible. ](https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/27/weather/boston-new-york-biggest-snow/index.html)However, it is all changing this week.
