Chance Of Snow In MA As Storm Brings Rain, Wind

MASSACHUSETTS — Friday's sunny, temperate weather is, predictably, not expected to last. Clouds will increase Saturday with rain arriving by Saturday night and continuing into Sunday morning.

The storm also comes with the likelihood of strong winds that are forecast to gust over 40 mph.

This comes after a storm dumped up to 3 inches of rain in parts of the state earlier in the week.

While most of Massachusetts can expect rain this weekend, the National Weather Service did note that "it's certainly not out of the question that precipitation could start as light freezing rain or snow above 600 to 800 feet."

There's also a 30 percent chance of snow overnight Sunday into Monday, but little or no accumulation is expected.

A coastal flood watch is in effect Sunday from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. The National Weather Service said that some coast roads may "become impassable around high tide" as flooding of 1 to 2 feet deep is possible in areas from Revere and Winthrop through Boston to Hull, Braintree, and Quincy.

If you're looking for a glimmer of hope, it comes next week. No precipitation is forecast Monday through Thursday. High temperatures will range from the mid-40s Monday to a balmy high-50s on Thursday.
