MA Weather Outlook: Storm Timing, Snow Estimates

BOSTON, MA — Wednesday's storm is starting in the mid-late morning and will drop anywhere from 3-8 inches on much of Central and Eastern Massachusetts, according to the most updated forecasts. The rest of the state can brace for a wintry mix and freezing rain.

First, the question everyone wants to know: How much snow will fall? Unfortunately some uncertainty about where the snow-rain line will fall means we don't exactly know yet, but the National Weather Service is guessing 3-6 inches from about Boston to Worcester and New Hampshire. Areas south of Boston will see dramatically less snow accumulation, but can still expect either sleet or rain.

The storm will start around 9 a.m. for places west of I-95 and about 10 a.m. for those on the other side. It will persist throughout the day.

Much of the northern interior part of the state is under a winter storm warning, while a winter weather advisory will be in effect for much of the rest of Massachusetts.
