Here’s some good news about snow -- finally.

The snow that’s headed our way for Thursday will likely only bring 1 to 2 inches across most of Eastern and Central Massachusetts with Cape Cod and the Islands expected to get 2 to 4 inches.

The Weather Channel said snow showers will start around noontime Thursday and continue until midnight. The snow is expected to be more of a nuisance than a major problem.

Once the storm heads out, we’ll be faced with frigid conditions. Wind chills on Friday morning will be below zero.

There is another storm brewing that could hit the area on Saturday, but it’s still too early to know the exact path of the storm.

“It is still too soon (3+ days out) to determine whether the offshore low will track close enough to bring heavy snow to parts of New England and the Northeast. If a low track sufficiently close to the coast to bring heavier snow would take place, peak impacts would occur Saturday night into Sunday with the heaviest snow in coastal New England,” said The Weather Channel’s Jon Erdman.
