Update:
The winter weather advisory has expanded
 |
| Tuesday 1 PM NWS Boston advisories |
The forecast below looks to be on track. Snow begins around 5-6 PM in Massachusetts. Probably a full school day for the teachers tomorrow.
Previous discussion below.
The National Weather Service in Taunton has posted a
Winter Weather Advisory for Central and Western Massachusetts. This may extend into Northern RI and CT as well as Middlesex and Essex counties in MA. This runs from 4 PM Tuesday until Noon Wednesday.

This may get teachers a delay on Wednesday but I won't guarantee that. It's not something that would be called until the morning. Next we move to heavy rain Wednesday night. A nasty severe weather outbreak will occur in the South tomorrow as this low lifts north. Here is the track

| WPC precipitation through Thursday 7 PM |
With a strong low like that to our west we will see strong winds overnight Wednesday into Thursday. Winds will be about as strong as they were last Tuesday. That means some downed tree branches and isolated power outages. I will update as needed tomorrow. I suspect the winter weather advisories will be expanded.
