Mother Nature isn’t through with us yet.

More snowfall is expected to develop late Thursday night or early Friday morning and could stretch into Saturday. The storm isn’t a big one—it’s expected to drop 1 or 2 inches of snow on the region. The snow may cause problems for both the Friday morning and afternoon commutes.

Here’s the National Weather Service forecast for Narragansett and South Kingstown:

• Friday morning: Rain and snow, becoming all snow after 9am. High near 38. South wind 8 to 14 mph becoming northwest in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 80%. Little or no snow accumulation expected.

A larger storm may hit the area on Monday, but the National Weather Service said it is still to early to say whether it will make it to Massachusetts.
