Latest Forecast: How Much Snow Will Sudbury Get?

Although initial forecasts predicted mostly rain for the west-of-Boston area, Sudbury residents woke up to snow falling, but not necessarily accumulating this morning. 

So, how much snow will Sudbury get? 

Forecasters have said this will be a prolonged storm that will last throughout the day Thursday and into Friday morning. When all is said and done, the Sudbury area can expect 3-6 inches, according to WHDH. 

In the WHDH Weather Blog, Meteorologist Jeremy Reiner says snow will be steady along and east of I-95. Areas west of I-95 will see more steady precipitation later today.

By tonight, Reiner says everyone can expect "widespread-steady snow." 

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for the Sudbury area, which is in effect until 1 p.m. Friday. NWS says most of the snow accumulation will take place overnight tonight, making roads slick for the Thursday evening and Friday morning commutes. 

The heavy, wet snow combined with high winds could mean scattered power outages for the area, NWS says.
