Local meteorologists are forecasting a chance of snow showers beginning Saturday evening, with little to no snow accumulation expected through Sunday.
“Best chance of snow accumulation comes from Sunday evening to early Monday morning when 1-3″ is possible, most west of 495,” WBZ meteorologist Lexie O’Connor said on Twitter.
Boston Office of the National Weather Service (NWS) tweeted about a two chance of snowfall this weekend, saying, “…ocean effect snow showers can produce up to an inch of snow in parts of [eastern Massachusetts] tonight. A better chance of snow begins Sunday afternoon when most [southeastern New England] can expect 1-4″ as low pressure slides towards our SW.”
The NWS shared a map showing forecast snowfall amounts from Sunday afternoon to Monday morning. The greatest snowfall amounts are expected in far western Massachusetts and northwestern Connecticut, with 3 to 4 inches possible. The central part of the states can get between 1 and 2 inches, while eastern Massachusetts and most of Rhode Island will likely see less than an inch. No snow is expected on Cape Cod and the islands.
