Not 1…Not 2…But 3 more storms this week!
Feeling a bit winter weary? The parade of storms is going to march on for at least another 7 days. This coming week will be one of the busiest weeks of weather in quite some time.

What is going on? Essentially, we have a very active Jetstream coming off the Pacific Ocean with storm after storm slamming into California. And, as luck would have it, New England is in the direct line of fire on the other end of that pattern.

Now for a preview of the week ahead…
STORM #1
Timeframe: Tuesday night-Wednesday morning
Precipitation type: all snow
This one will not be a direct hit on New England, the track is a bit too far south. Therefore, we will be fringed with some light snow for southernmost New England.
Much like our last few storms, this one will be another quick mover.

Areas north of the Mass Pike may be completely shut out, perhaps just a few stray flurries.
South of the Pike, there is likely to be some light snow, mainly after midnight, lasting through mid morning Wednesday.
Best chance of seeing a few inches of snow would be areas south of Plymouth and Providence, particularly the South Coast, Cape Cod and Islands.

STORM #2
Timeframe: early Thursday morning hours (predawn) through Thursday afternoon
Precipitation type: another “kitchen sink” storm…starts as snow and changes to ice and rain
A quick moving wintry mix. Begins after midnight as a thump of snow but changes over to a mix of sleet, freezing rain and rain throughout Thursday morning.
Not expecting big snow totals in southern New England.

STORM #3
Timeframe: Late Saturday through early Monday
Precipitation type: Another wintry mix likely
Information on this one is a bit limited given how far away it is at this time.
There is potential for this storm to be a bit different from the prior events though. Current model data indicates this could be a longer duration storm and may also have a wind component. Again, this is unlikely to be a major snowstorm, but there could be periods of heavy precipitation of various types.
Obviously we will have much more on this possible Weekend storm in the days ahead.
