Yes, Friday we will have to deal with a storm that delivers a variety of precipitation. Right now, it looks like the precipitation will start as an icy mix in the late morning. Sometime in the early afternoon, the precipitation will change to all rain. But, there already could be a thick glaze on the roads, trees, and power lines. This may affect school. By dinnertime, there will be a break in the rainfall. Unfortunately, heavy rain will redevelop after 10PM. Do not be surprised if a rumble or two of thunder shakes you awake!

Upcoming Major Storms: Rain or Snow?
Many storm systems will track through our region in the first part of February; each next one delivering more "frozen" precipitation than rain. Keep in mind: when storms start as rain and quickly change to "frozen" precipitation, the roads have a great chance to freeze into a glacier of ice. Eventually, we may have a nice, full-blown, "big daddy" snowstorm on our hands. Don't worry, as I will be sure to deliver you the most up-to-date and accurate storm data.

Update: Cape Cod & Islands BLIZZARD
The biggest winter storm (possibly blizzard) of the season will mainly impact Cape Cod, Nantucket, and Martha's Vineyard late on Sunday and into Monday. Schools will likely be canceled on Monday.The precipitation will start as a mixture of rain, sleet, and snow for many. However, it will quickly change to all snow as the intensity of the precipitation increases. Total Snow Accumulations for this event will range from 3-6" on the islands, but more if less mixing occurs as the storm pulls away. On the Cape, as much as 6-10" could accumulate before the storm leaves on Monday. Some mixing will occur at the end. Click on my snowfall map below to enlarge and get your hometown forecast.
Sustained winds will be between 20MPH and 30MPH at the start of the storm.
Sustained winds will be between 30MPH and 50MPH during the bulk of the storm.
Frequent gusts on the Islands of 60MPH+ are not out of the question.
Blizzard Criteria:
A Blizzard Warning will be issued when the following conditions are forecast to last at least 3 hours. Falling and/or blowing snow frequently reducing visibility to below one-quarter mile, AND sustained winds or frequent gusts of/or over 35 mph.
