For the first time in a while the Southern New England Region has a primarily all snow event. Even the south coast, Cape & Islands should stay mainly snow. Maybe a brief mix is possible.
Currently, a weak area of low pressure over the Ohio River Valley is slowly trying to organize as it moves east-northeast. The scattered rain & snow showers in the radar loop below highlight the lack of organization this system currently has.

The system will slowly better organize itself as it traverses the mid-Atlantic states and passes underneath of New England. Light snowfall breaks out over night Sunday into Monday and lasts through much of the day Monday.

Even though it snows for quite a long period Monday, it likely doesn’t amount to very much in most places. A widespread 2-3″ is likely; except for southeast Mass, Rhode Island, and the upper Cape where a bit more is possible.
When all is said and done, nothing that we can’t handle:
2-18-19 Snowfall
Looking ahead, we are in a slightly more active pattern with a mixed precipitation event in the forecast for Thursday and another system possible for Monday.
