How Much Snow Will Johnston Get? Depends on Who You Ask

Forecasts are all over the place for Johnston, but it looks like much of Rhode Island will be spared major snow totals.


Will Johnston see significant snowfall this weekend or will it be a couple inches with rain mixed in?

The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous weather alert for the weekend as a wintry mix makes its way toward the region. But how much snow Johnston is expected to get depends on who you ask. Forecasts are all over the map. ABC6 is predicting 1-3 inches; WPRI 12 has Johnston on the border between 1-4 and 4-7 inches; NBC 10 predicts "a few inches." The National Weather Service is calling for a half-inch. 

Snow and rain are expected to begin sometime Saturday afternoon, switching back and forth between all snow, all rain and a mix through the evening. After midnight, it should remain all snow, continuing into Sunday afternoon. Temperatures are expected to vary between the mid-20s at night and mid-30s during the day Saturday and Sunday.
