In this weekend's nor'easter, gusts of wind appear powerful enough to cause some outages. White-outs seem certain. Blizzard conditions are probable and the coastal flood threat borders on minor to moderate during the Saturday morning high tide.

Friday will be wrapped in the clouds, but we’ll hold back the snow until late at night or even into the wee hours of Saturday morning. Then the “fun” starts.

First, a primer. When we’re forecasting days in advance, we often talk about track. It’s not like the track of a hurricane, with strike probabilities and forecast cones. A “landfall” from this storm would mean snow to rain with some strong wind and highs in the 40s.the coast, typically near the “benchmark” of 40N/70W, due south of Nantucket. If the storm continues into the Gulf of Maine, we remain on the western side of the storm and are hammered by snow for hours on end.

The sheer size of this storm makes it easier to get buried too. Even a glancing shot could get you closer to a foot – although that would likely be sequestered to southeast Mass & the Cape. The winds will also be powerful with a glancing shot. And coastal flooding likely can’t be avoided either. But what’s the actual track? Hard to pin down this far from the event, but the swath of heavy snow will be widespread. We’re on the fence between where theTimeline brings the steady snow in near/around midnight Friday and keeps it going through the day Saturday. Some signs point to it tapering Saturday night or even very early Sunday.
