Blizzard expected to bring heavy snow and gusty winds to Southern New England

Описание: Storm Team 10 forecast from NBC 10 News Weekend Sunrise from Sunday, Feb. 22, 2026:

A Storm Team 10 Weather Alert is in effect ahead of a blizzard expected to bring heavy snow and gusty winds to the region on Sunday night, lasting through Monday.

The latest model runs continue to reinforce the data that emerged yesterday morning, depicting this as a powerful snowstorm rivaling the Blizzard of 2022.

The leading edge of this system is expected to arrive in Southern New England Sunday evening between 7 and 10 p.m. Snowfall rates quickly intensify to 1-2"+ per hour after midnight. Snow will continue to fall heavily all the way into Monday afternoon. This will be a heavy wet snow.

Coinciding with the heavy snow will be gusty winds, which raises concern for scattered power outages. Most of the region will see gusts from the northeast between 45 and 55 mph from midnight until noon on Monday. Along the coastline, these gusts will be closer to 65 mph.

The worst of this nor'easter is over by 6 p.m. Monday, but snow may linger until 8 p.m. Snowfall totals of 18 to 24 inches are likely across much of Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts, with 12 to 18 inches along the immediate south coast.
