RI Could See Up to 4 to 8 Inches of Snow This Weekend

Though the snow is melting, grounds across Rhode Island will once again be covered as yet another snow system makes its way to the Ocean State.

Multiple weather outlets are tracking a snowstorm that looks to hit southern New England Saturday into Sunday. Because the storm is still three days out, initial projections for snowfall is uncertain. The Weather Channel, however, reports that Rhode Island could see up to a foot of new snowfall while other forecasts show North Kingstown could see between 4 to 8 inches of snow. 

On his blog, WHDH meteorologist Pete Bouchard is calling for light rain along the coast Saturday with snow inland and snow everywhere by Sunday morning. There may also be some coastal flooding.

"Heavy snow through early morning Sunday. Roads will be tough to travel, and yes, your flight will most likely be delayed or cancelled. Although I don't run an airline, so I'll let them have the final word," Bouchard writes.
