Forecasters are keeping their eyes on yet another storm system that may drop more snow on the region.
According to officials at the National Weather Service and Accuweather, a storm system is heading toward the East Coast and could shift north, impacting Rhode Island Wednesday night into Friday. Initial predictions are uncertain, but forecasters say the storm may bring heavy snowfall and high winds, especially Thursday afternoon and night. Accuweather is projecting anywhere between 3 to 6 inches for Rhode Island as of Tuesday afternoon. But areas north and west of Providence have a chance of greater accumulation.
The mixture of snow could be heavy and wet, combining with high winds, possibly resulting in power outages and downed trees. There may be a chance of coastal flooding Thursday and Friday during high tides.
Accuweather predicts the storm will move up the coastline, hitting New York City, Hartford, Providence, and Boston.
