Weekend storm

Many aspects of this storm, including the track, have been hard to decipher, but it is now certain that a significant winter storm will impact the region from Saturday afternoon into Sunday. While areas to the north and west of the city will see a plowable snowfall, with totals around a foot, the city and areas to the south and east may just see rain or a wintry mix with minimal snow totals. Gusty winds, especially at the coast, and coastal flooding are also possible with this storm.
