A storm on track to move into Massachusetts this weekend is expected to bring snow, rain, and strong wind gusts.
Friday will feature steady rainfall through at least lunchtime, and the drizzly, foggy conditions will linger into Saturday morning. Things will then dry out before an impactful storm arrives during the daylight hours on Sunday.
“We’ve got rain and snow. Some areas are expecting plowable snow. I’m not expecting coastal flooding, but winds will get gusty,” Boston 25 Meteorologist Shiri Spear said in her latest forecast .
Spear shared an “early-look” snow map on Friday morning that showed the chance for a half foot of snow in some parts of the Bay State.
“There’s no doubt that we’re going to have to make some adjustments over the next couple of days, but for your planning purposes, it does look like less than 3 inches for a good chunk of southeastern Massachusetts, 3 to 6 inches north and west of Taunton up to Boston and the North Shore,” Spear said. “North and west of 495 and the Mass. Pike — the best chance for getting 6 inches of snow. It’s because those spots stick with all snow the whole time even as it begins on Sunday with very minimal rain mixing in.”
