Snowfall ranging from 6 to 12 inches will cover much of Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. Within this area locally higher amounts are possible.
Increasing winds will cause extensive blowing and drifting snow, as well as coastal flooding problems along the eastern shoreline areas.
The air coming in Friday into Saturday will be the coldest of the season so far. The combination of wind, temperature and other factors may make it dangerous to be outdoors for extended periods of time. RealFeel temperatures will dip below zero.
