Possible major winter storm for New England this week. (via @theeyewallwx )
"The current thinking is that the greatest odds of heavy snow are most likely from southern New Hampshire and Vermont into western Maine. Snow and/or sleet will be possible down into parts of northern Massachusetts as well, north of the Worcester area. This could be some very heavy, wet snow for parts of southern New Hampshire and southwest Maine in particular, from Keene and Concord to Lewiston. "
Stormy Weather Update
At my station:
Temp- 57.2°F
Hum-86%
Barometer- plummeting, now at 991.0 millibars(!)
Wind SSE, steady 30 gusting to 50+ mph
Rain currently 0.25 in/hr, 1.11" total.
This storm is absolutely howling outside and is so outside the norm for January weather it's scary.
eweather (#CT based #weather
forecasting savant) predicts 4-8" of #snow across most of southern #NewEngland from incoming #noreaster between Saturday night and Sunday midday, with 6-12" possible in the zones just west of #Boston.
1/2 The USGS maintains a system of flood gauges to, among other things, help forecast flood risk. Today's #NorEaster brings heavy rains on top of early snow into #NewEngland. The Black River in #Vermont has only one flood gauge (NOVS1) in North Springfield, far downstream where flooding has now closed Rt 100 and Rt 103 in Ludlow where last summer's big storm caused millions in damage.
