By no means is this a major storm but, if you are traveling between the hours of 8pm-2am tonight you may encounter some snow covered roadways.

As quickly as it arrives (between 7-9pm from west to east), it will depart…(between midnight and 2am).

Generally looking at a coating to a few inches across southern New England.
Best chance of 3″ would be in the elevated areas in central and western MA.

After the snow passes through, the winds will pick up once again. Westerly gusts between 40-55mph are expected in the hills of Worcester county as well as over the Cape and Islands. Across the rest of eastern MA, gusts will be mainly between 20-40mph.

Saturday morning, another storm system will pass well to the south of our area. The northern fringes may clip southernmost New England. Not expecting much, if any accumulation… perhaps just some additional coatings south of the Mass Pike.
