Nor’easter Could Bring Rain, Wet Snow to Northeast

A potential nor’easter could affect the Northeast and New England from Thursday through Saturday, bringing rain, possible wet snow and gusty winds, followed by colder temperatures. Forecast confidence remains low because models disagree on the storm’s track and strength, which will determine precipitation type and location. The most likely snow impacts are in higher elevations, parts of northern New England and western Massachusetts, where a coating to a couple of inches is possible; Boston and other low-elevation areas along the I-95 corridor are unlikely to see accumulating snow. Vermont could see wet or upslope snow over the weekend, while northwest New Jersey may see rain change to wet snow with little accumulation expected. The system is not currently expected to be a widespread, significant snowstorm, and forecasters advise checking updated forecasts, especially before travel in higher terrain.
