A fast-moving clipper storm will move through Massachusetts ahead of the weekend, bringing the chance for more snow and rain.
There will be a chance for a spot rain or snow shower Thursday night into Friday morning, according to Boston 25 Meteorologist Shiri Spear.
“This is a pretty weak storm system as it comes through. We have the chance for a little spot rain or snow shower,” Spear said in her latest forecast . “Friday morning we’re probably going to need to watch for a couple of slippery spots.”
Spear said there won’t be a Weather Alert on the Thursday and Friday forecast because the storm should be fairly low-impact.
“Overall, the rainfall and precipitation totals look quite limited and patchy with this one,” Spear explained. “There might be a little snow mixed in, especially at elevations, but even so it’s looking like a coating.”
The National Weather Service defines an “Alberta” clipper storm as a “very fast-moving storm that drops down from the northwest across the Great Lakes from Central Canada.”
