More snow and storm force winds are headed toward Rhode Island.

The National Weather Service has called a Storm Watch for the Tiverton and Little Compton area beginning Sunday afternoon until Sunday evening.

There will be snow and strong winds from Saturday into Sunday.

Tiverton and Little Compton could see almost a foot of snow this weekend, Weather.com reports.

NWS also alerted a Small Craft advisory with high pressure builds over the waters Friday afternoon and into the night. This means there will be wind speeds up to 33 knots, which can cause hazardous wave conditions to small craft.

Sunday could see gusts up to 55 Kt and waves as high as 4 feet, according to NWS.

The National Weather Service issued a A Blizzard Watch for coastal Massachusetts and is predicting Northeastern Massachusetts will get hit hardest with more than a foot of snow possible. The NWS expects 8 to 10 inches across much of Eastern and Central Massachusetts.

When is it going to start?

Snow showers may start to appear around 2 p.m. and snowy and wind conditions will continue into late Sunday night in Tiverton and Little Compton, Weather.com reports.

The storm does not have the best timing with Valentine’s Day on Saturday, but the good news is the storm isn’t expected to intensify until late Saturday night.

The NWS is warning that travel conditions will be difficult. Gusty winds will blow snow around and lead to low visibility. Roof collapses could be a problem.

This month is already the snowiest February on record in Boston and the latest storm may make this month the snowiest month on record in Boston -- and we’re only halfway through the month.

Weather forecasters said another storm could arrive on Wednesday.
