MA Weather: When The Snow Will Stop, End, Then Freeze

Forecasters are saying to expect a "burst of heavy snow overnight" as the region preps for the first major snow storm of the winter. The latest forecast Saturday is calling for warmer temperatures than initially expected, but you should see plenty of snow Sunday morning followed by a ton of rain.

The National Weather Service said to expect the burst to begin between midnight and 2 a.m. and exit the Massachusetts border around sunrise. You can see the most detailed radar estimates below.

Overall, less snow and ice than first reported is expected. But heavy rain will follow the snow Sunday, then temperatures will plummet in the evening hours. The NWS said there will be a flash freeze that could make Sunday night and Monday morning treacherous.

Most of Massachusetts is still under either a winter storm warning or winter weather advisory. Coastal flood warnings and advisories are along the shores.
