Another round of snow is expected to hit Eastern and Central Massachusetts on Sunday night and into Monday morning.

The good news is that the snow is expected to be measured in inches and not feet -- and the storm should end before the Monday morning commute.

Here is what the National Weather Service is predicting:

• Southeastern Massachusetts and Cape Cod and the Islands could see as much as 4-6 inches of snow from the storm.
• The South Shore and parts of Central Massachusetts are expected to pick up 3-4 inches of snow.
• Boston, most of Metro Boston, the North Shore, MetroWest, Merrimack Valley and the Worcester area are expected to get 2-3 inches of snow.

Another piece of good news is that the new snow won’t stick around for long. 7News’ Chris Lambert said that Monday should be sunny with highs near 40 so much of the snow that will fall on Sunday night and early Monday morning may melt on Monday afternoon.

The next round of precipitation could hit Massachusetts on Tuesday night into Wednesday, but that storm might only feature rain. It’s still to early to know exactly what form the precipitation will take or whether it will actually reach Massachusetts.

At this point, Lambert is predicting a brief period of snow and ice on Tuesday night before it changes over to rain on Wednesday.
