Quick storm update

A quick update here, mainly to update amounts and the timing of the storm on Tuesday.

Judging by the current radar imagery and what the late day model runs are showing, I think we are going to see a bit more snow that I originally expected.  I feel pretty safe saying that 6-10 inches in a wide swath from Northern  Rhode Island into Southern New Hampshire.  South of Providence amounts will be significantly less, on the order of 2-4 inches because of mixing with rain and sleet.

As for timing, the snow will quickly overspread the region beginning around 5 AM in Connecticut and Rhode Island, reaching Manchester, NH by 8AM.  The most intense period of snow will happen between 11AM and 3 PM.  Snow will taper off during the evening hours before flaring back up on Wednesday morning.

I'll have more on Tuesday morning.

Be safe and thanks for reading!
