The storm will spread light rain and snow into the area tonight with the mix becoming all snow by Monday morning. The snow will continue, possibly mixing with rain at times during the late morning and early afternoon, mainly east of the mountains.
As the storm moves to the coast, it will rapidly intensify and head towards New England. As it does, another round of snow is expected, mainly along and east of I-95 tomorrow evening into Tuesday. Currently, it appears the eastern portion of the state will be on the fringe of this round of snow with little accumulation expected west of I-95.

The snowfall totals for the second round of snow are completely dependent upon the strength and track of the coastal low pressure. At this time, it appears the low will be close enough to push accumulating snowfall into our state with the highest totals across eastern portions of the state. Should the storm form and track further east, these totals will drop dramatically. Should it form and track further west, totals could increase.
