Weather Alert: Light Rain To Snow Showers Friday

Good Friday Morning

Widespread rain heavy at times with isolated thunderstorms, ending by 2AM Friday, then lighter rain showers the rest of the pre-dawn hours of Friday. Temperatures holding in the mid-upper-30s

Light rain showers Friday morning will transition to light snow showers by afternoon and evening. A “snowstorm” is not expected locally, but some small coatings of snow are possible on “non-paved” surfaces like grassy areas, car tops, and patio decks…mainly far northern suburbs

Rain continues until 2 AM FRiday with total rainfall of 1″ to 1 1/4″ expected.

Meanwhile just to our north, in central and northern New England, a wintry mixture will be the predominant precipitation type. Winter Weather Advisories are in effect until 6 PM Friday.

Ski areas in VT, NH and Maine can expect an additional 3-6″ on top of what has fallen already last 6-12 hours. An icy mix with several slushy inches is expected north of the Massachusetts Turnpike, too, making for slippery travel for Friday morning drive.

Lingering light rain showers Friday morning will change to light snow showers by afternoon and evening. It will be a chilly day with temperatures hovering in the mid to upper 30s.

A small coating of snow (on non-paved surfaces), is possible, especially in northern Rhode Island by Friday evening.
