Here’s what Boston meteorologists are saying about the potential weekend storm
"The weekend storm looks to brush by us, with some rain and snow showers, but we should avoid major impacts."
Forecasters are still keeping an eye on a potential coastal storm for this weekend, but it looks like we may dodge a bullet. Here’s what some some of Boston’s top meteorologists are saying.
National Weather Service: ‘Whether we are even impacted remains uncertain’
[The Week Ahead] Generally dry and tranquil weather expected for the upcoming work week with near to slightly above normal temperatures. There is the potential for a storm sometime next weekend with rain and/or snow, but whether we are even impacted remains uncertain. pic.twitter.com/WvNpRk24wD

Harvey Leonard, WCVB: ‘So far, Saturday storm threat looks fairly minimal’
So far, Saturday storm threat looks fairly minimal, as storm will likely pass fairly far south and east of us. It’s still possible we will get fringe effects of wet snow or rain, especially SE MA & Cape Cod. But, it still needs to be watched #wcvb pic.twitter.com/9CVQv3OXwD

Sarah Wroblewski, WBZ: ‘The weekend storm we’re watching is trending farther east (still plenty of time for change)’
The weekend storm we’re watching is trending farther east (still plenty of time for change), but that would bring less of an impact w/ just a clip of some minor rain/snow Saturday/Saturday night.

Cooling off a bit for now. Pattern is fairly progressive, which limits the chances for a major storm over southern New England this weekend, but we’ll still keep an eye on it. Not writing it off just yet. pic.twitter.com/ZitkfBQgFz
