Take a look at the latest run of the North American Model. This is the 18Z run, which is much snowier for Rhode Island and southern New England than the earlier runs. As it stands now, portions of the region are predicted to receive 1.00" in liquid equivalent precipitation. Depending on the liquid content of the snow, this amount of precipitation would produce anywhere from 10 to 20 inches!!!!! The GFS model is not as impressive with precipitation amounts, but it does produce a 4 to 8 inch snow event.
The North American Model has the storm beginning in the wee hours of the morning on Monday, January 14th and wrapping up later in the evening. We will need to monitor future model runs as we get closer to the event, but if this scenario plays out, then we have a nice little snowstorm on our hands.
