Just a quick update: Models continue to show snow for our area starting late tonight/early tomorrow morning. By the time the snow changes to rain, we can expect anywhere from a coating to 2″ of snow. There will be less on the South Shore and more as you head North. The changeover should occur Saturday morning, sometime after 8 or 9am.
Saturday and Sunday will feature warmer temperatures but will still be rainy. Another front will come through on Sunday and behind it will be another blast of Arctic air. More updates later today/tonight.
