Snow Showers Overnight, Nor’easter Next Week – Boston News, Weather, Sports

7Weather – It was another beautiful day with many of us joining the 50° Club. Changing overnight as the center of a weak low-pressure system pulls our south but throws some isolated showers our way.

Snow and rain showers continue late into the night/midnight. A few showers will continue into tomorrow morning. Worcester County and western temperatures will be more supportive of snow. The amount of snow will be minimal and limited to unpaved areas. Temperatures along the coast and south-east of Mass will be marginal. You might see some swirls, but they don’t stick to the surfaces.

Scattered snow showers continue Saturday afternoon as the system shrouds in moisture as it makes its way east. By then, temperatures will be too far above freezing for anything to stick. We’re sticking to the clouds and temperatures are stuck in the 30’s. It will also be blustery, with a northeast breeze making it feel cooler throughout the day.

Sunday is your better day of the weekend. It is dry. Temperatures rise to the mid/high 40’s in MetroWest and stay cooler in the low 40’s/nearly 40’s on the coast.

The big ticket is a Nor’easter next week. It will hit late Monday, with the greatest impact on Tuesday and persistent snow showers on Wednesday. This is altitude driven snow so the heavy wet snow will accumulate at the highest elevations in the Berkshires and Monadnock region. Along the coast we mainly expect rain. The wind will be strong, 40-60 mph on the coast. Tides are not astronomically high during this time, but winds could still be strong enough to cause minor coastal flooding.

We’ll have more details over the weekend, so check back with us.
