3 Major Storms to Hit Westford Before Christmas

By Tony Schinella

As many as three major storms will deliver snow, ice, rain, and thunderstorms in the Northeast over the next week.

“While details including timing, track and exact precipitation type for the storms have yet to be determined, the storms will bring enough precipitation to slow travel as they move along,” said meteorologist Alex Sosnowski of AccuWeather.com.

The first storm is expected to hit the mid-Atlantic states on Sunday and run north. The storm is expected to strengthen but it is unknown how for north it will go.

A second albeit weaker storm is expected to bring snow and freezing rain from Washington, D.C. to Boston early next week. If the storm becomes stronger, it could unload heavy snow through interior New England with wind and freezing rain on the coast.

Another storm is expected to hit just before Christmas.

“While not all of these storms will be a snow threat for the major travel hubs in the Midwest and Northeast, there does not have to be arctic air in place for them to bring at least some snow and ice problems,” said Mark Paquette of AccuWeather.
