6:16 pm
both of these are tracking offshore but the first one is much more intense. that will give us most of the snow. the second one we are talking about light snow on tuesday. because that storm system is close enough to us, we have that blizzard warning in effect from 4:00 a.m. until evan :00 p.m. tomorrow. gus could be stronger than 30 or 40 it is a wet snow through the cape and the islands through northern plymouth county. 50 to 6 0 miles per hour seems likely along the shoreline. we could see gusty with stronger than -- gusty winds stronger than that. as you look toward the west, the wind gust will be less than that. the wind gust will coordinate with where we had that blizzard warning. once we get past 4:00, they start to die down a little bit. i tomorrow evening, they will drop off as well. one of the thing with that north recently wind. we have this -- a coastal flood advisory along the north shore. a coastal flood warning along the south shore.
6:17 pm
high tide at 11:00. looking at minor flooding but there could be a pocket here or there. there may be road closures. that is the thing we will watch the time around high tide. the other thing we are talking about is the snow. out to the west, 495, 3 to 6. in boston 6-9 inches. i think will be more towards six inches. however, because we have ocean enhancement we may bump up those totals. same thing to the south shore. that wind additional moisture. eight inches in general but there could be a band or two that produces a foot of snow. as you look towards the outer cape we might have enough mixing going on and it will be a heavier snow so accumulation will be down. overall, you get the idea. tomorrow travel is not recommended because of all the blowing and drifting snow. what is the timeline? 5:00 in the morning, it starts to make its way in.
6:18 pm
re going to try to get to work tomorrow, go very early. the commute could be very slippery. stay steady with us until 2:00 in the afternoon. these of those bands i am talking about that could materialize near the shoreline. as we head towards the evening off to a lighter snow. however we have the snow on the temperatures dropping. the evening can you do is not going to be any better. traveling. on tuesday, a little bit of slight snow. there is that first system that gives us the snow. then you see a second system developing down here and it wants to follow the same path but not nearly as strong. that is why the snowfall totals will be much less. so, breaking it all down for the next seven days you see what happens tomorrow with the wind driven snow and 30 degrees. tuesday, light snow. wednesday we have got another system coming through that may give us a few snow showers. there is not a lot of melting going on. thursday, a few flurries and then watch what happens.
