Matt Noyes, NBC10 Boston and NECN: ‘Most uncertain area is [southwest New Hampshire to southern Vermont]’

If the forecast shakes out the way it’s looking, some of the 4″+ area will pick up 6 or 7 inches (in fact, on-air I’m showing 4″-7″) but again, that’s dependent on the moisture actually making it in as predicted.
