How Much Snow Will NK See This Weekend?

Forecasters are predicting more snow, but how much?

 

Will North Kingstown see significant snowfall this weekend or will it be an inch with rain mixed in?

The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous weather alert for the weekend as a wintry mix makes its way toward the region. But how much snow NK is expected to get depends on how warm the temperatures remain. Forecasts vary, but most expect just a couple inches in the area. ABC6 is predicting 1 to 3 inches; WPRI 12 predicts 1 to 4 inches and NBC 10 estimates "a few inches." The National Weather Service believes accumulations will top off at about an inch.
