1213 PM EST Fri Mar 3 2023

...SIGNIFICANT SNOWSTORM FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...

.A winter storm is forecast to move into the eastern Great Lakes

today with a secondary area of low pressure developing along the

southern New England coast by Saturday. A band of heavy snowfall is

expected to lift northeast ahead of the storm, reaching southern New

Hampshire Friday evening and spreading north through the overnight.

The bulk of the snowfall accumulation is expected with this band,

southern New Hampshire and could reduce snowfall totals slightly

compared to the rest of the area. Wet snow may also fall along the

coasts of Maine and New Hampshire.
