Hi everybody, the potential for a huge Winter Storm exists for the New England area this weekend. The European model actually shows as much as 24 inches in some locations.
Confidence continues to increase in the potential for a huge event starting on Friday. Since the storm is still 72 hours away there are still some things that have to be worked out before the final forecast is issued. The confidence in at least a foot of snow is quite high by forecasters at this time.The main thing that will have to be monitored is if the snow mixes with any rain near the coast and also how far inland the snow will occur. There is also a good chance that a high wind event will take place. this may create the need for coastal flood watches or warnings. Strong winds and flooding along the coast are a definite possibility.
