Live Updates: Powerful Winter Storm Begins Pounding East Coast
Blizzard conditions were expected Saturday across parts of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic States. Thousands of flights were canceled.
A snowstorm that could bring up to two feet to some Eastern Massachusetts communities is barreling down on Southern New England, with blizzard conditions expected in the eastern third of the state and all of Rhode Island, the National Weather Service said.
The “significant winter storm” arrived after midnight and is expected to stick around through Saturday night. It will bring heavy snowfall, near hurricane-force wind gusts, and power outages, according to the weather service. The greatest snowfall amounts are expected across Eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
The weather service expanded its blizzard warning Friday to include not just coastal areas but much of Eastern Massachusetts and all of Rhode Island. The warning is in effect from midnight Friday through early Sunday morning. A winter storm warning was also issued for much of Central Massachusetts.
Eastern portions of the state are expected to be hit the hardest. In Boston, Plymouth, and parts of Cape Cod at least 18 to 24 inches of snow is likely, forecasters said. Depending on the location of isolated snow bands, some areas could see up to 30 inches, with forecasters predicting that snow totals in certain spots will break records or come close.
From 7 p.m. on Friday through 7 a.m. on Sunday, forecasters anticipate 24.7 inches in Boston, while South Shore communities could see higher amounts of 26 inches or more. like Plymouth are expected to see the highest amounts, with 26.8 inches.
The predicted snowfall totals decrease as you move west across the state, with Central Massachusetts communities like Fitchburg possibly receiving 16 inches of snow and Western Massachusetts communities like Springfield set to get 11 inches or so.
Between 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday, both Boston and Plymouth may see another 8 to 12 inches. Forecasters said the heaviest snow will fall Saturday afternoon and evening in Eastern Massachusetts communities, where snow could fall at a rate of 2 to 4 inches per hour.
The wind is expected to be a major factor in this storm, with wind gusts the strongest along the coast, particularly in those communities where a blizzard warning has been issued. Wind gusts could possibly reach between 70 and 75 miles per hour along the South Shore, Cape Cod, and Martha’s Vineyard.
Chatham and Nantucket may see gusts up to 75 miles per hour. In Boston, wind gusts could reach up to 55 miles per hour, according to the weather service. Wind gusts are expected to peak late this morning into the mid-afternoon.
