Mostly Rain Headed To Region, More Weight On Roofs
BOSTON (CBS) -- Midday models continue to show very little snowfall Saturday afternoon through the night in our area, but temperatures are going to be very close to the freezing mark in our NW suburbs in the evening.
The National Weather Service has edged the winter weather advisory slightly eastward closer to the coast for the possibility of freezing rain creating a glaze in some spots.
Watch Joe Joyce's forecast
The best chance of this happening would be north and west of a line from Worcester to Manchester, NH; places like Northern Worcester Co and Southern NH could see a decent ice accretion, 1/8 to ¼ inch with temps near or a few degrees below freezing.
Not a big snowmaker, but freezing rain could create some travel issues even just a few miles inland from Boston in the 128-495 areas with spotty icy spots.
All rain in Boston and in SE MA. It will still be over early Sunday AM.
As for next week, it's still early but Tuesday's storm continues to look like it may develop just a bit too late and beyond our latitude to give us anything major. Some light snow is likely on Tuesday, and we will have to watch this one. Should it develop a bit earlier it could mean more snow accumulation.
Still appears as though another storm will be nearby late week (Thurs/Fri timeframe), way too early for anything definitive there, but latest models trends suggest that may be just too far east, sparing us another major nor'easter, but again it is early and we haven't been that lucky yet this winter.
Perhaps our luck may be changing??
