319 PM EST Sun Jan 22 2023
…WIDESPREAD MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOWFALL TONIGHT INTO MONDAY…
.The next system in the ongoing active weather pattern is forecast
to pass through southern New England tonight before exiting through
the Gulf of Maine on Monday. This will bring another round of
snowfall to the region. Moderate to heavy snowfall rates are
expected to be overnight tonight into Monday morning, with travel
impacts expected for the morning commute. There is a growing signal
that a band of moderate to heavy snow will develop in the afternoon
into the early evening hours, bringing difficult travel for the
evening commute. Snow may be wet and sticky across the south, which
may increase power outage risk. Power outage risk increases further
as winds turn gusty out of the northwest behind the storm system on
Monday afternoon into Monday night.
