STORM TIMELINE
Flakes will start flying around 4 a.m. and ramp up throughout the day, bringing snowfall rates of 1-3 inches per hour at its peak, according to Boston 25 Meteorologist Shiri Spear said in her latest forecast. The storm is expected to wind down by 3 p.m. ahead of the evening commute.
“Futurecast has snow initially moving in around 4 a.m. This is when roads will start to get slippery. We’re going to be in the thick of it, with heavy snow falling between 7 or 8 a.m., straight into the early afternoon. You’re going to see that goes until about 3 p.m.,” Spear said. “As we roll into the evening, I’m thinking around 7 p.m. snow should be done for good in the Greater Boston area.”
