PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) – A slow-moving storm hitting the Northeast is expected to bring heavy rains and wind to coastal areas and at least half a foot of heavy, wet snow to inland areas.
The National Weather Service says the storm’s effects could make for a slippery Tuesday morning commute, with worse conditions later in the day.
At least 2 inches of rain is forecast for southern New England, where flood advisories are in effect in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Some coastal areas are also under wind advisories, with 50 mile-per-hour gusts possible.
Snowfall is expected to be minimal along the Interstate 95 corridor from Philadelphia to Boston, but winter storm watches and warnings have been issued for inland parts of Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts and northern New England.
Some higher elevations could get 2 feet of snow through Thursday.
