Wintry weather is expected today with 3-6 inches of snow on the north shore and1-3 inches of snow for the south shore and east end. The storm will be very dependent on temperatures - just a few degrees warmer or colder will drastically change overall snow totals. This will be slushy snow that's heavy to lift and might make snow totals appear lower in some neighborhoods.

Rain and snow showers will bring a slushy mess to the morning across the island. The first round of precipitation this morning will bring up to 1-2 inches of snow before noon on the north shore with lower totals for the south shore and east where it's warmer.

A lull in the wintry mix arrives in the afternoon, but it's not entirely dry. Expect a few spotty snow showers midday.

Widespread snow showers return in the evening bringing snow totals in the 3 inch range for much of the island with locally higher amounts.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday is dry and sunny but becoming breezy and cold in the afternoon. Temperatures will remain below average for the work week, particularly cold on Tuesday.

Snow flurries are expected Friday and more snow is possible next weekend.
