More snow expected to hit region on Saturday
For the third time this week, snowplows will hit the streets of Boston tomorrow morning, according to the National Weather Service.
Through early this morning, 1.5 inches of snow fell in East Boston and 1 inch was measured in South Boston. The most snow in the state was measured in Bridgewater, with 5 inches. Bristol County also reported several towns got at least 4 inches of the white stuff.
Meteorologist Alan Dunham said the snow on the ground will stick for a few days.
Although it will be sunny today, cold temperatures will persist with highs only in the lower 30s. Wind gusts up to 25 miles-per-hour will make it feel like the upper teens, forecasters said.
Dunham said 2 to 4 inches of snow is expected to fall tomorrow in Boston. The snowfall will start in the morning but taper off in the afternoon or early evening. Southeastern Massachusetts is expected to receive 4 to 6 inches.
A warm front on Sunday will hold off another snow flurry for the Patriots playoff game, but some rain is expected Sunday night into Monday, Dunham said. During the game, skies will be mostly sunny with little wind and temperatures at about 32 degrees.
Dunham said Monday and Tuesday next week will be warmer, with highs in the upper 40s, causing most of the snow to melt. He said Wednesday and Thursday will be right around normal temperatures, with highs in the 30s and 40s.
