Nantucket, MA – A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect for Nantucket from 9 a.m. Thursday until 7 a.m. Friday, with up to 4 inches of snow expected.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Boston/Norton, snow accumulations are forecasted to range between 2 and 3 inches, though some areas may see as much as 4 inches. The heaviest snowfall is anticipated Thursday afternoon and evening, potentially impacting the evening commute.
Roads are expected to become slippery as snow accumulates, making travel conditions hazardous. Residents are advised to drive cautiously and allow extra time for commutes. The NWS recommends reducing speed and maintaining a safe distance between vehicles.
While snowfall totals are relatively low, Nantucket’s coastal location increases the potential for quickly changing conditions, including reduced visibility and slick roadways. Travelers, particularly those using ferries or flights to and from the island, should monitor for potential delays.
