A developing low-pressure system could deliver snow to parts of southern New England late Friday night and early Saturday; however, forecast uncertainty remains high.
Forecasters at the National Weather Service in Boston are closely monitoring a system that is predicted to approach the region Friday night, with some locations potentially receiving plowing snow by early Saturday. Guidance continues to suggest wide variation in the storm’s trajectory, reducing confidence in precise snowfall location.
Current likelihood graphs indicate that the best possibilities for at least 3 inches of snow are in southwest Connecticut, where probabilities are highest. Further east into Rhode Island and eastern Massachusetts, including the Boston metro area, probability reduces dramatically, implying that lighter snowfall amounts or mixed outcomes are still probable.
The National Weather Service stated that uncertainty remains high, and minor changes in the storm track might push heavier snow bands north or south. If any impacts materialize, they will most likely be focused late Friday night into early Saturday morning, potentially disrupting overnight and early morning travel.
Residents in southern New England are advised to closely monitor forecast updates over the next 24 to 36 hours, particularly those with travel plans late Friday or early Saturday.
