The roads will rapidly deteriorate during the evening as the sun gets lower, allowing for more snow to stick to the roadways. This is expected to have a significant impact on the evening commute between Boston and Providence.
A Winter Storm Warning is issued when at least six inches of snow is expected in a 12-hour period or eight inches in a 24-hour period.
