Local meteorologists are forecasting a chance of snow showers starting Saturday evening, with little or no snow accumulation expected until Sunday.
“A better chance for accumulating snow comes Sunday evening into early Monday morning where 1-3″ is possible, the most west of 495,” WBZ Meteorologist Lexie O’Connor said on Twitter.
The National Weather Service’s (NWS) Boston bureau tweeted about two chances for accumulating snow this weekend, saying, “…Ocean effect snow showers may produce up to an inch of snow across parts of [eastern Massachusetts] tonight. A better chance for snow begins Sunday PM when most of the [southeastern New England] can expect 1-4” as low pressure slides to our SW.”
The NWS shared a map showing expected snowfall amounts from Sunday afternoon through Monday morning. The greatest amounts of snow are expected across far western Massachusetts and northwest Connecticut, with 3 to 4 inches possible. The central part of the states may get between 1 and 2 inches, while eastern Massachusets and most of Rhode Island will likely see less than an inch. No snow is expected in Cape Cod and the Islands.
Next week’s daily forecast
The NWS Boston bureau predicts snow will wrap up by early Monday morning, making way for a mostly sunny day with a high near 35. Tuesday and Wednesday will remain clear and sunny, with highs around 37 on both days.
