A new snow map released Friday by the Boston25 Weather Team shows that up to a half-foot of snow could fall in parts of Massachusetts this weekend, with isolated areas seeing even higher amounts.
After some possible coastal flurries on Friday, the winter storm arrives, with snow falling across the region after midnight and lasting through much of Saturday.
A winter storm watch and winter weather warning have been issued due to the impending snowfall.
“The heaviest and most consistent snowfall will likely be around noon and afternoon, right next to the coastline,” Boston 25 meteorologist Shiri Spear said in the morning forecast. “The whole thing is over by the evening. So by 6 or 7 p.m., the snow is over in Boston. It’s going to be a little longer on the Cape Saturday night.”
At least a few inches of snow are expected.
More snowfall amounts are also possible in central and coastal areas of the region. Some isolated spots could get up to 10 inches of snow.
Boston 25 meteorologist Tucker Antico said the coming storm is “the trickiest forecast of the season.”
Parts of southern New Hampshire are also part of a band that could see up to 5 inches of snow.
The fresh snow will be followed by extreme cold and sub-zero wind chill Saturday night. Windy and biting air will persist all day Sunday, raising the risk of frostbite
“Feels like” temperatures could be as low as -20 degrees in parts of Massachusetts on Sunday morning.
