More Flight Cancellations Predicted Due to Late March New England Snowstorm

According to Weather.com there will be a powerful storm developing off the East Coast Tuesday and Wednesday:

Critical questions remain on exact storm track and resulting impacts to Northeastern U.S.

Heavy snow possible in parts of eastern New England and likely in Atlantic Canada

Light accumulating snow probable elsewhere in the Northeast

Coastal flood, high wind threats in coastal New England Wednesday

Precursor disturbance brings light snow to the Midwest Monday and Tuesday

What Should You Do?

If you have travel plans on the East Coast Tuesday and Wednesday – especially to, from, or within New England and Atlantic Canada – it's time to start thinking ahead.

While there is still considerable uncertainty in the forecast, there could be significant impacts to travel. Even the threat of strong winds and snow could prompt airlines to alter flight schedules.

If your travel plans are especially sensitive to weather disruption, you may want to consider moving your flight or your road trip outside of the storm's expected time frame just to be safe. If you are comfortable waiting for more clarity in the forecast, we should have a better grip on the forecast details later Monday. 

Given the uncertainty still involved in the forecast, it is probably still too early to cancel or postpone local events, gatherings, or plans with friends and family that don't involve long-distance travel, unless they're in southeast Massachusetts, including Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket Island, as well as eastern Maine. It is always a good idea to protect yourself by getting travel insurance. 

Of course, it's never a bad idea to check your preparedness in case a major storm of any kind strikes your community. Although winter is almost over and you may not use them this time, items such as batteries could be useful to have on hand for the Atlantic hurricane season, which begins in just over two months.
