Expect rainy conditions Friday. Then, on Saturday, rain is likely throughout the day. Precipitation could turn to snow overnight, the National Weather Service predicts. Accumulation is unlikely, however.
The exact track of the storm will determine whether or not it will become the season's first nor'easter, forecasters with AccuWeather said. The good news: "As quickly as the storm will arrive, it will be just as quickly swept away on Sunday," AccuWeather said in a news release about the storm.
