Rhode Island is bracing for yet another snow storm as a winter system approaches New England over the weekend.
The National Weather Service has issued a blizzard watch from Cape Cod to coastal Maine; the warning will take effect in Rhode Island at 3:00pm Saturday. The storm could bring a foot or more of snow to some areas, with strong wind gusts and the potential for coastal flooding.
Accuweather meteorologist Bob Smerbeck says the state can expect heavy winds with the storm.
“We’re going to have blizzard conditions tomorrow night into Sunday, winds can gust [up to] 40 to 50 miles per hour, there’s going to be poor visibility with near white-out conditions at times,” said Smerbeck.
Accuweather is predicting between six and ten inches of snow.
