Following a dusting on Thursday morning, meteorologists say the region will just miss a big storm this weekend, but still expect some light snow Saturday.

Update 1/8 1 PM: Based on recent model trends, the offshore track stays favored. Chances for a major snow are unlikely this weekend.

Eric Fisher, WBZ: ‘a couple of chances to at least see some snowflakes ahead’
While we’re missing the bigger storm this weekend, there are a couple of chances to at least see some snowflakes ahead.

A “backdoor warm front” tomorrow should produce some snow showers, especially in morning across eastern MA

Dave Epstein, The Boston Globe: ‘snow showers Saturday’
Although a coastal storm will likely (90%), stay too far away to impact us, moisture from the northern stream will bring some snow showers Saturday to much of the area. #WeatherWisdom pic.twitter.com/46VQeTWv4N

Will be minor here with a coating-1″ expected- a few localized amount up to 2″. Storm will cause significant disruption over the deep south with with snow and ice. Bulk of storm missing us to south- just some northern stream energy giving us light snow #WCVB pic.twitter.com/mwEhHoEkjY

Scattered snow showers this morning taper off after noontime with some brightening skies this afternoon. Strong winds continue with gusts 30mph+ making it feel no higher than the teens #WCVB pic.twitter.com/o9iRgjSoD7
Tucker Antico, Boston25: ‘Expect something on the order of an inch’
While the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, and South enjoy widespread 6+” snowfalls, New England will go another storm with little to no impact.

Expect something on the order of an inch across the region on Saturday. Cold & dry weather (the worst kind) persists… pic.twitter.com/FqJbFZKKdt
Pamela Gardner, NBC10 Boston: ‘Storm stays south of us in New England’
Latest on the weekend storm: Storm stays south of us in New England. SW vorticity elongates, and storm is steered out to sea…instead of meeting with northwestern energy & becoming a nor’easter. So just some light snow for us Saturday. pic.twitter.com/EnFjOOYLpH
