Good News: Snow won’t be too bad this weekend. Just light accumulations expected.
Bad News: Potential for unsettled weather is possible into next week. Some models have potential coastal storm during the middle of the week, but confidence is low right now with this system as too many risks are possible with the time line being about a week out. I’ll keep you updated with this system though!
Have a wonderful weekend folks!
