A late-season snowstorm has already blanketed parts of the Rockies, Plains and Midwest, and will track through the Northeast through Saturday.
There is a broad southward plunge of the jet stream that is keeping below-average temperatures anchored in place throughout much of the central and eastern United States. Pivoting through that jet stream is a disturbance that is wringing out a narrow west-to-east band of snow that could be heavy in spots.
This system has been named Winter Storm Sadie by The Weather Channel.
Latest Conditions and Winter Alerts
Snow from this system is falling in parts of the Northeast.
The snow or snow-and-rain mix will spread to southern and central New England, where it will linger into Saturday.
Current Radar
Parts of central Massachusetts have been upgraded to a winter storm warning, where slightly heavier snowfall amounts are possible. Scattered power outages are possible in area where trees have begun to bloom. Travel will likely be dangerous in this area as well.
Winter weather advisories have been issued by the National Weather Service from the southern Great Lakes into southern New England.
Areas under winter weather advisories will have lighter amounts of snowfall, which could still slow down travel in some areas.

How Much Snow?
