How Close Will That Bomb Cyclone Come to Maine, New Hampshire, & Massachusetts?

Almost as soon as the last flakes from Winter Storm Fern fell, we started hearing that another storm had its sights set on New England.

Initially, this storm was thought to be a nor'easter, but many meteorologists quickly started to call it a 'bomb cyclone' because of how intense it was expected to be.

It has started to cause issues for those in the south and mid-Atlantic, but will it actually affect us here in New England?

According to the latest forecast from WMTW, the storm will likely pass far enough east of us that we won't really feel it.

The article explains that, for a few days, forecast models teased the idea that it could drift close enough to bring heavy snow to parts of New England this weekend.

Now?  That track has shifted.

As of Friday morning, most models push the storm farther east and out to sea by the time Sunday evening rolls around. The meteorologists at WMTW say that unless there’s a big and unlikely wobble back toward the coast, Maine should avoid any major impacts.

Bottom line: some clouds near the coast, but most of the state should stay dry.

What about elsewhere in New England?  According to Weather.com, Portsmouth will likely see some significant winds on Sunday, but no real precipitation.  The coast of Massachusetts could see a little bit of snow or mixed precipitations, but no major weather events.
