Chance Of Snow Coming To Parts Of Massachusetts Over Weekend

BOSTON, MA — Two storms will bring the potential for snow to Massachusetts over the next few days — but forecasts are uncertain about how severely the weather will impact the state.

A weather system will move into the Atlantic Ocean on Friday, exiting in the Mid-Atlantic area. That storm will then travel up the seaboard, and may deliver some snow to Connecticut. But Massachusetts coastal areas could also get hit with ocean-effect snow Friday into Saturday.

The rest of the state will be spared any precipitation Friday, although it'll be cold and cloudy across the area.

"Southeast MA will be the exception, where moist Northeast flow around the departing low will set up some ocean effect snow/rain showers," a Thursday afternoon forecast said.

Next up: a "plume" of moisture will hit the area beginning Monday — but it's unclear if that will come in the form of snow or rain.

"The precipitation type and the location of heaviest precipitation are the biggest unknowns," the weather service said in the forecast.
