A winter storm watch has been issued in Mass. as parts of the state could see half a foot of snow.
Northern Berkshire, Southern Berkshire, Western Franklin, Western Hampden, Western Hampshire, Central Middlesex County, Eastern Franklin, Southern Worcester, Western Essex, Northern Worcester, and Northwest Middlesex County are all in a winter storm watch beginning early Sunday morning.
“We see snow but also a mix initially, it all depends on where you are,” Meteorologist Vicki Graf said in her Saturday morning forecast . “In the higher elevations across the interior this will mainly be a snow event and it will be a heavy and wet snow at that so we’ll have to watch as that continues to pile up, there will be the concern for some power outages”
Areas closer to the coastline will be a mix because of warmer air moving in.
Graf shared a look at the snow map Saturday morning that showed the chance for a half foot of snow in some parts of the Bay State.
“The worst of the storm will be overnight Sunday into early Monday, that’s when I expect most of the accumulation as well as some of the strongest winds,” Graf said.
