Forecasts vary, but Bristol and Warren look to get a couple inches, and it appears much of Rhode Island will be spared major snow totals.
Will Bristol and Warren see significant snowfall this weekend or will it be an inch with rain mixed in? The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous weather alert for the weekend as a wintry mix makes its way toward the region.

Bristol and Warren will likely see 4-6 inches of snow, depending on how much rain mixes in.

A new snowstorm is headed our way for Saturday and Sunday, which could dump 4-8 inches on Bristol and Warren.

In honor of the New Year, the Rhode Island Department of Health is encouraging smokers to quit in 2013 with the launch of its new smoking cessation campaign, “Tobacco Made Me.” The new campaign, which showcases personal stories from Rhode Islanders whose lives have been negatively impacted by smoking and tobacco use, is designed to motivate smokers to call the state’s quit line at 1-800-QUIT-NOW.

A second storm of the week is headed toward New England and will dump a bit more snow onto the area on Saturday. The National Weather Service is predicting Bristol and Warren to get only about an inch of snow in the storm that is expected to start around noon Saturday, ending late Saturday night. But that doesn't mean residents — particularly motorists — can take this storm lightly. The weather service is predicting snow to begin late morning, then switch to rain, before returning to snow. The result could be a slippery mess on roads all over town. And other forecasters are predicting as much as 4-6 inches in the area, so totals could increase in the two towns. Patchy fog is expected to worsen visibility as temperatures warm slightly in …
