A winter storm watch was been issued for a system expected to dump several inches of plowable snow across Massachusetts early next week.
The winter storm watch was issued by the National Weather Service for Central Middlesex County; Eastern Essex; Eastern Franklin; Eastern Hampden; Eastern Hampshire; Eastern Norfolk; Northern Worcester; Northwest Middlesex County; Southeast Middlesex; Southern Worcester; Suffolk; Western Essex; Western Hampden; Western Norfolk, Western Franklin; Western Hampshire, Northern Berkshire; Southern Berkshire Eastern Plymouth; Northern Bristol; Western Plymouth, Southern Bristol and Southern Plymouth counties.
“This is going to be the type of snow where yes we are going to need the plows, the shovels, the snow blowers out there as we could see more than 8 inches up to a foot,” Meteorologist Vicki Graf said in her Sunday morning forecast.
According to Graf, power outages are also something that we are going to be watching because of the wind and significant snow.
