MA Weather Forecast: Wednesday Storm Looking Worse

The storm that will likely bring "a good thump of snow" is expected to arrive overnight, the National Weather Service said. That means plenty of precipitation for the Wednesday morning commute, and up to 8 inches in most of the state by the end of the day.

The storm won't even make it's way to Worcester until after midnight. By about 4 a.m., the entire state will be a very wet place. The storm won't begin clearing Massachusetts until late Wednesday afternoon/early evening. The last remnants will be gone shortly after 7 p.m. You can see the forecast radar below to get a better sense of the storm's timing.

The expected snow totals have also risen, according to the NWS. The high-end range of 6-8 inches is now in effect for the vast majority of Massachusetts. East of 95 south of Boston will be in the 4-6 inches range, and the Cape and Islands can expect just an inch or two before it turns to rain.

A winter storm warning has been issued for the places expecting to get up to 8 inches, with a winter storm advisory in effect for the rest of the state.
