Weather Watch: First Alert for Boston
First Alert Friday looms over the Boston area, bringing a chill of expectation. Starting as snow around noon on Friday, this round of wintry weather promises to test both drivers and forecasters alike. With temperatures rising into the upper 30s, the transition from snow to rain or sleet could create a slippery mix.
Be prepared: Boston-area residents should expect between 2 to 4 inches of snow, with some areas potentially seeing up to 5 inches—especially in higher terrains.
This forecast is critical for anyone planning outdoor activities this weekend, including those heading out early Friday morning. Remember, the risk of black ice remains high where there’s moisture on the ground and temperatures hover around freezing.
Forecasting Uncertainty: Coastal Storms Ahead
The snow won’t be the only weather concern for the upcoming week. Our attention turns to a potential nor’easter that could impact southern New England late Sunday into Monday. The exact path of this storm will determine its impact, with closer tracks promising heavier snow and stronger winds.
While precise timing is still uncertain, the general rule remains: if it’s closer to the coast, we might see more significant weather events.
Conversely, those farther out at sea could dodge the brunt of the storm, potentially avoiding major disruptions. Keep your eyes on the skies as forecasts evolve over the coming days.
Preparing for the Worst
The good news is that despite the forecasted snow and potential nor’easter, there’s still time to prepare. Local authorities are urging residents to stock up on essentials, including non-perishable food items, blankets, and emergency supplies. Stay tuned for updates as we navigate through this weather event.
So, Boston, get ready for another round of winter testing.
Will you be caught off guard? Or will you rise to the challenge with the right preparations? The forecast suggests a mix of scenarios, but one thing is certain: winter isn’t over yet.
You might think this is new, but winter in New England is never just about the snow.
It’s about knowing how to handle it and coming out stronger on the other side. Stay safe and stay informed.
