A major winter storm hitting the south will graze New England and deliver some light snow, meteorologists Alyssa Andrews and Terry Eliasen say.

If we look at the jet stream for Friday morning, a massive trough will stretch to the south and help spawn a nasty storm that will likely bring some serious wintry conditions to the Southern states.

A winter storm is moving across the central U.S., bringing snow and strong winds from Kansas to Washington DC. New England is let off the hook with this one as the low pressure moves offshore over Virginia/DC keeping it south.

A big weekend snowstorm for New England is not likely to happen based on the latest forecast, WBZ-TV meteorologists Jacob Wycoff and Terry Eliasen say.
