It’s still too early to pin down the exact track or impacts, including projected snowfall totals, because as of Thursday morning, the GFS and Euro weather models were drastically different.
Right now, Cape Cod and the Islands look to be most at risk for heavy snow, up to 6 inches and wind gusts.
“It doesn’t look like a mostly miss. Right now, it looks like something in the middle, which would give us some impacts,” Meteorologist Shiri Spear said in her forecast. “It does look like the further inland you go, the less impact you’re going to see from this one.”
