The latest snowstorm in a string of storms that have hit Massachusetts over the past five weeks is expected to make travel treacherous on Sunday night.

The storm could bring enough snowfall to break the record for snowiest winter on record in Boston.

The good news is that the snow should be gone by the Monday morning commute.

Here is what the National Weather Service is predicting:

• Most of Eastern and Central Massachusetts is expected to get 4-6 inches of snow.
• Closer to the New Hampshire border and parts of Cape Cod and the Islands should get 3-4 inches.
• Parts of Southeastern Massachusetts could get 6-8 inches of snow.

Snow will begin as snow showers on mid-Sunday afternoon before intensifying late Sunday afternoon and Sunday evening. The snow will continue to fall into early Monday morning.

Here is the hour-by-hour forecast from The Weather Channel:

• 2 p.m. Sunday: Snow showers, 29 degrees

• We turn the clocks ahead next weekend.
• Spring training games start this week.
• Spring is three weeks away.
