Massachusetts Weather: Latest Details on March 14 Storm

Some changes in the forecast for Tuesday's nor'easter have tweaked predictions, but no one is dodging a bullet on this one. Winter Storm Stella is coming tomorrow, and we'll be digging ourselves out for days.

The major change is that the storm may track a bit farther West than initially expected. In response, a blizzard warning was canceled for the Cape and Southeastern Mass. and has shifted to Central Mass. Some of the heaviest snowfall totals, up to 2 feet, might now be found in Worcester County.

The 12-18 inches estimate is holding steady for much of the state, but the shift means the Cape and Southeastern Mass. could see more rain and sleet, which, combined with 60-mph wind gusts, could mean huge power outages. Subscribe to your local Patch for more weather and news alerts.

A blizzard watch remains for Middlesex, Essex and Suffolk counties and some areas south of Boston. The NWS has posted the following to explain what hazards, warnings, watches and outlooks are where:

Growing concern about the potential mixing of rain, sleet and snow has some of the highest expected snow totals in jeopardy. Eastern Mass. could see less than the 12-18 inches if the weather breaks the right way, but it will make for icier conditions and soggier snow.

• Snow Day? See if your district canceled school yet.

The snow is expected to start early Tuesday, picking up in intensity within the first couple of hours to make for treacherous travel conditions. Most towns will see snow start around 6-7 a.m., with heavy snow falling at rates of 2-4 inches an hour starting two hours after the first flakes fall.

Travel Tuesday will be extra dangerous. Hundreds of flights have already been grounded in and out of Logan. If things go as planned, kiss goodbye to school Tuesday (and Wednesday, too.) Also, keep an eye out for trash/recycling days to be postponed and parking bans to be instituted. Check back after Gov. Charlie Baker speaks to reporters at 1:30 p.m.

Coastal flooding remains a huge concern, as do strong wind gusts, particularly along the coast. Gusts there could get up past 60 mph.

And before you pack up the shovels for good Thursday, remember this tweet the NWS posted Saturday afternoon.
