Coastal flooding on Saturday could rival Wednesday's. Even though the storm is weaker, the tides will be higher overall. Winds will gust up to 60 mph at the coast and 45 mph inland on Saturday morning.
Precipitation begins as snow Tuesday afternoon mostly in interior areas but those closest to the coast get just rain, according to meteorologist Jon Palmer at the National Weather Service in Gray, Maine.
The snow is still expected to have a total snow of 12-18 inches in southern New Hampshire and southern Maine before tapering off late in the afternoon.
