Weather Alert: Monday Blizzard

POWERFUL NOR’EASTER

We’re in the middle of a major impact nor’easter today and we’re on an all-day Weather Alert for heavy, wet snow, damaging wind gusts and coastal concerns.

A Blizzard Warning remains in effect until 7am Tuesday, with Winter Storm Warnings posted across southern New Hampshire. The worst of the storm will hit from be with us through about 10am. That’s when snowfall rates could reach 2–3″/hour, visibility drops to near zero and whiteout conditions make travel nearly impossible. If you don’t have to be out, stay put today.

Snow continues through the afternoon, gradually tapering from west to east between 5pm and 10pm. By the time it winds down, we’re looking at up to 2 feet of snow in some spots south of Boston. Most towns will see up to a foot, with 6–12″ farther north into southern New Hampshire and western Massachusetts.

This is a heavy, wet snow. That means two things: it will be tough to shovel, and it will weigh down trees and power lines. Power outages are a real concern, especially where the highest totals overlap with the strongest wind.

Wind gusts will range from 35 to 65 mph, strongest this morning along the coast, Cape and Islands. Those winds will not only worsen visibility but also create blowing and drifting snow.

We’re also watching the coastline closely. Minor coastal flooding is possible from Boston through the North Shore, the Seacoast and into southern New Hampshire. Moderate coastal flooding is possible along the South Shore, Cape Cod and the Islands with the 3am and 3pm high tides today and again around 4am Tuesday.

The storm pulls away late tonight, but cleanup and lingering impacts will last for days. And we’re not done yet — another round of snow and rain is possible Wednesday through Friday. We’ll be tracking it all.
