Rhode Island likely to receive only an inch or two of snow Sunday.
Massachusetts coast faces moderate flooding and strong winds.

Southern New England is bracing for a coastal storm this weekend, though its impact on Rhode Island is predicted to be minor. Ahead of the storm, the region will remain under a cold weather advisory due to frigid temperatures and wind chills that could reach 20 degrees below zero. Residents can expect only one to two inches of snow on Sunday, with western parts of the state likely seeing none. This is a welcome forecast for many still recovering from a previous storm. The storm's most significant effects, including accumulating snow and gusty winds, are expected further east in Massachusetts, particularly on Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket, where snowfall could range from four to eight inches. Coastal areas of Massachusetts may also experience moderate flooding and winds of 35 to 45 mph with gusts up to 55 mph.
