'Significant' Nor'easter Likely to Hit Over the Weekend

Another major snowstorm is headed our way and this one might dump another foot of snow on us.

The National Weather Service said there is “high confidence of a significant snowstorm” that may have blizzard conditions on late Saturday night and Sunday.

Light snow is expected to arrive late Saturday afternoon, but the heavier snow won’t hit until late Saturday night so don’t cancel those Valentine’s Day plans.

7News’ Jeremy Reiner said snow will continue to fall heavily through midday Sunday. A foot of snow in Eastern and Central Massachusetts is likely with more snow possible along the North Shore.

Blizzard conditions are possible with strong winds expected Sunday morning and into the afternoon. Minor coastal flooding may also pose a problem on Sunday.

This storm is just the latest in a string of major snowstorms to hit the area. Greater Boston has seen six feet of snow within the past three weeks, including the Blizzard of 2015, which dumped three feet of snow on parts of Massachusetts.
