Biggest storm of winter tracking toward RI this weekend: Timing, predicted snow, forecast
The biggest storm of the winter season is bearing down on Rhode Island, with timing and snow totals still uncertain but intensifying.
A powerful low-pressure system is currently moving northward from the Gulf of Mexico, bringing with it a mass of cold air that's expected to collide with warmer air from the Atlantic Ocean. The resulting storm will likely bring heavy snowfall to parts of New England, including Rhode Island.
When to expect the storm
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for much of Rhode Island, effective from Saturday evening through Sunday afternoon. Snow is expected to begin falling by late Saturday night or early Sunday morning, with the heaviest snowfall occurring during the day.
How much snow can we expect?
The exact amount of snow that will fall in Rhode Island is still uncertain, but forecasters are predicting 6-12 inches in some areas. However, it's not uncommon for snow totals to vary widely within a relatively small geographic area, so residents should be prepared for significant accumulation.
