Weekend Snow: How Will it Hit Newton?

NEWTON, MA -- The potential winter storm that had threatened Massachusetts should still bring weekend snow, but the potential amounts that were originally predicted for Middlesex and MetroWest counties are much less threatening.

The southern part of the state will see the most likely see the most snow, up to 6 inches Saturday night in areas like New Bedford and up to 3 inches in Boston, according to WHDH, 7 News.

But even Southern New England seems to be too far north of the storm to see crippling amounts of snow. Of course, that could still change.

The National Weather Service for the Newton area is reporting that there is a risk for heavy snow across the region with the greatest threat over Rhode Island and Southeast Massachusetts. If the storm tracks closer to the coast, heavy snow would be possible farther north.

Here’s the forecast for the area for the weekend, according to the National Weather Service:

• Friday: Sunny, high in upper 20s.
• Friday Night: Increasing clouds, low in mid-teens.
• Saturday: Chance of snow after 11 a.m., high near upper 20s.
• Saturday Night: Snow likely, mainly before 11 p.m.
• Sunday: Snow before 11 a.m. Partly sunny, high in lower 30s.
• Sunday Night: Partly cloudy, low in upper teens
