Get your shovels and snowblowers ready. A "high-impact" storm is expected sweep through dozens of states, from Texas up through New England, bringing several inches of snow and ice to the SouthCoast starting Sunday, Jan. 25, into Monday, Jan. 26.

According to the National Weather Service, the area will be on a winter storm watch from Sunday morning to Monday evening, with the potential for 6 to 12 inches of snowfall, "with localized accumulations over 12 inches possible."

That means residents have to start thinking about where they can — and can't — park when the city issues a parking ban.

Fall River is expected to announce the date and time its parking ban will go into effect on Friday, Jan. 23, at 2 p.m. ahead of this weekend’s storm.
