Timing out our weekend storm

Image
By

We’re almost to the weekend… and our next storm. This weekend will bring a lot of cloud cover and temperatures won’t move all that much staying mainly in the 30s. Some drizzle tomorrow. Then Sunday morning, rain and snow arrives continuing into Monday.

A Winter Storm Watch is up for Sunday through Monday morning where heavy snow is possible in northern Worcester and northern Middlesex counties and the eastern slopes of the Berkshires.

That’s also where the heaviest snowfall amounts will occur with this storm. Here’s a look at the snowfall accumulations Sunday evening through Monday morning.

You can see the moisture for part of our storm across Texas and Louisiana this afternoon. An area of low pressure will develop and track inland, forming another area of low pressure near the coast. It’s that one that will bring us rain and snow.

Here’s a closer look at the timing of the storm. This will be a snow event for areas north and west of 495, a mix for MetroWest and rain turning to snow at the end for Southeast Mass. Target early Sunday morning for the dry hours to be outside. It’ll still be chilly. Snow and rain arrives mid/late morning. The snow won’t accumulate until later in the day on Sunday. Late Sunday into Monday, the rain/snow line slips south, as the wind shifts and colder air above us starts to work in. This will end as snow showers for everyone Monday. Expect a slow Monday morning commute! It tapers to flurries later in the day.

Here’s a closer look at the snowfall amounts for your town by Monday morning.

The storm will also kick up the wind. It’ll be breezy Sunday, and the wind peaks Monday. Gusts will be strongest on Cape Cod, Cape Ann and Nantucket. The heavy snow and wind gusts along and north of 495 into northern Worcester County and the Merrimack Valley could lead to a low risk for power outages. There isn’t a concern for coastal flooding with this storm.

Temperatures stay cold Monday and Tuesday. We’ll get the sunshine back Tuesday! As of now, the rest of the 7-day forecast looks fairly quiet.

Before we wrap up this blog, let’s talk some weather history! Anyone remember what this date (January 26th) signifies? On this date in 2015, the first storm of the “Snow Blitz” arrived. This was the first of several storms to hit our region over a six-week period. Surprisingly, up until this point very little snow had fallen. Here’s a look at snowfall totals for the initial kickoff.

Virginia family gets keys to Habitat for Humanity’s first 3D-printed home in the US

By
(CNN) — One Virginia family received the keys to their new  3D-printed home  in time for Christmas. The home is Habitat for Humanity’s first 3D-printed home in the nation,  according to a Habitat news release. Janet V. Green, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg, told CNN it partnered with Alquist, a 3D printing company, earlier this year to begin the process. The 1,200-square-foot home has three bedrooms, two full baths and was built from concrete. The technology allowed the home to be built in just 12 hours, which saves about four weeks of construction time for a typical home. April Stringfield purchased the home through the  Habitat Homebuyer Program . She will move in with her 13-year-old son just in time for the holidays. “My son and I are so thankful,” Stringfield said in a  live feed streamed on Habitat’s Facebook  page. “I always wanted to be a homeowner. It’s like a dream come true.” To purchase the home, Stringfield logged hundreds of hours of

Lawsuit: High school football player says coaches forced him to eat pizza as punishment, violating religious beliefs

By
CANTON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio high school football player who says coaches forced him to eat a pizza covered with pepperoni grease in violation of his religious beliefs is suing his former district and the ousted coaches. The former Canton McKinley High School athlete and his parents filed a federal civil rights suit this week seeking millions of dollars in damages and alleging violations of his religious freedom and constitutional rights. The athlete says in the lawsuit that coaches were notified he doesn’t eat pork or pork residue as a member of the Hebrew Israelite religious faith, but that they ordered him to eat the pizza as punishment for missing an offseason workout — and indicated his spot on the team was at risk if he didn’t. The coaches say the player chose to remove pepperoni and eat the pizza rather than an alternative food. They weren’t aware it violated his religious beliefs, according to a  defamation case they filed  previously against the teen’s father, his attorney a

Bergeron, Pastrnak and Bruins finish off Capitals in 5 games

By
WASHINGTON (AP) — Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak dazzled on offense, Tuukka Rask was rock solid in net and the Boston Bruins are moving on to the second round of the playoffs. Bergeron scored twice at crucial times after Pastrnak’s  highlight-reel  goal, Rask made 40 saves and the Bruins eliminated the Washington Capitals in five games with a 3-1 victory Sunday night. Bergeron delivered the dagger with 7:35 left to set up a second-round showdown against either the Pittsburgh Penguins or New York Islanders. Chants of “TUUKK!” emanated from a large group of black and gold-clad Boston fans who were part of the limited-capacity sellout crowd of 5,333. Those were occasionally interrupted by “We want the Cup!” — the trophy the Bruins last won a decade ago after a 39-year title drought. They’re 12 wins away, thanks to their best players dominating in Game 5. Pastrnak made it look easy putting the puck behind his back and through his legs, assisted on Bergeron’s first goal and was par
